In 1959, he demonstrated that mRNA is significant in protein synthesis. By contributing to the central dogma, he showed that just like DNA, mRNA can be used to determine the genetic code. His experiment involved a cell whose DNA was denatured but injected with mRNA and showed that protein synthesis proceeded.

Marshall Nirenberg discovered the first triplet i.e “ sequence of three bases of DNA” . These triplets codes for the 21 amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. While conducting experiment with Johann Matthaei using test-tube techniques, they set up a “cell free system” and from ruptured E.coli which was exposed to radioactive RNA, they synthesized “Poly U” RNA which was entirely made of Uracil base.

Some salmon have been genetically modified to grow bigger and mature faster than wild salmon. They are kept in fish-farming faci

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The first statement is correct. Genetically modified salmon produce more growth hormone protein which enables them to grow all year round.

Explanation:

The following is the explanation why all other sentences aren't correct.

Genetically modified salmon and wild salmon would't have identical DNA. The genetically modified are ~99.99986% salmon, with the addition of 4,205 base pairs. Wild salmon reproduce sexually while the genetically modified salmon is sterile. Wild salmon don't an altered protein sequence, genetically modified ones do.
