Answer:

Erwin Chargaff discovered the nitrogenous bases

Explanation:

Erwin Chargaff discovered the nitrogenous bases present in the dna of all organisms. He conducted studies to reveal the structure of DNA and its primary chemical composition. In the initial stage of his experiment, he noted that though the composition of nucleotide varies in all organism, there are certain properties which are same in DNA of all organism. This led chargaff to find the nucleotide bases with their pairing rule where Adenine (A) binds with Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) binds with Guanine (G).
