Answer:

The correct answer is- Nirenberg and Heinrich, 1961.

Explanation:

Experiments by Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei in 1961, began to decipher genetic codes and state about the 64 triplet codons in the genetic code by using mRNA from DNA to translate into specific amino acids in our biological system.

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.

For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to
Reptile [31]

Answer: E. Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

The Hershey-Chase experiment, is an experiment that demonstrated that the genetic material of phage isn't protein but rather it's DNA.

Based on the information given in the question, the experiment will not work because amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Therefore, the correct option is E.
