The question is incomplete. The correct question is as following:
__________ studied the role of RNA in protein synthesis, specifically in the bacteria E. coli.
Answer:
Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei
Explanation:
Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei are two biochemist and geneticist who studied the functional importance of RNA in the process of translation (protein synthesis) experimentally in E.Coli.
Nirenberg and Matthaei discovered the first codon out of 64 codons present in RNA and they successfully performed translation (protein synthesis) in E.coli in a test tube. They decoded the first codon UUU (phenylalanine) by using synthetic RNA having only uracil nucleotides in a E.Coli and later they decoded further codons.
So, the correct answer is Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei.
Autobiographical memory refers to memory of specific events that had occurred during the course of one' lifetime. Autobiographical memory is divided into two major groups which are episodic and semantic memories. Episodic memory recollects time, location and people while semantic memory recollect general facts. An example of autobiographical memory is the memory of college graduation event.

Answer:
C) 30,000
Explanation:
According to the given information, the bacterial mRNA consists of about 800 nucleotides. Three consecutive nucleotides together make one genetic codon which in turn codes for one specific amino acid in the protein encoded by this mRNA.
So, an mRNA with 800 nucleotides will have total 800/3 = 266.67 or 266 genetic codes. The protein encoded by this mRNA would have a total of 266 amino acids.
Given that one amino acid imparts 110 units to the molecular weight of the protein, the protein with 266 amino acids have the molecular weight= 266 x 110 = 29260, that is about 30,000.
