Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Nirenberg and Heinrich, 1961.

Explanation:

Their experiment helps to decode or crack the code of DNA by establishing the first codon out of 64 triplet codes which are  UUU codes for phenylalanine. In the future, the same approach is used to find other amino acids.
