Vedclass · Answer

(A) George Gamow was a physicist who proposed that if there are $4$ bases and $20$ amino acids,the code must be made up of three nucleotides. He suggested that the genetic code is a triplet,meaning $4^3 = 64$ codons,which is sufficient to code for $20$ amino acids. This was a significant theoretical contribution to understanding the nature of the genetic code.
