Vedclass · Answer

(D) Har Gobind Khorana developed a chemical method to synthesize $RNA$ molecules with defined combinations of bases (homopolymers and copolymers). By using these synthetic $RNA$ molecules in a cell-free protein-synthesizing system,he was able to decipher the genetic code. Specifically,he demonstrated that the triplet codons $UUU$ (which codes for Phenylalanine) and $AUG$ (which codes for Methionine) were among the first to be deciphered using his experimental approach.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$A. \; AUG$	$1. \; \text{Phenylalanine}$
$B. \; UAA$	$2. \; \text{Methionine}$
$C. \; UUU$	$3. \; \text{Tryptophan}$
$D. \; UGG$	$4. \; \text{Termination}$
