Who postulated the presence of an adapter molecule needed for the process of translation?
a
James Watson
b
John Ray
c
Francis Crick
d
Jacob and Monad
detailed solution
Correct option is C
From the very beginning of the proposition of code, it was clear to Francis Crick that there has to be a mechanism to read the code and also to link it to the amino acids, because amino acids have no structural specialties to read the code uniquely. He postulated the presence of an adapter molecule that would on one hand read the code and on other hand would bind to specific amino acids.Talk to our academic expert!
