Chapter 12, Problem 1CQ

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason by which the study of pathway  leads to arginine synthesis allowed the conclusion that one gene sometimes encodes one enzyme by Beadle and Tatum.

Introduction: The one gene one enzyme concept was given by Beadle and Tatum. The concept emphasized about how a specific gene is specific for the synthesis of one enzyme. The specificity of gene expression was important to understand the mechanism behind the gene expression which later became the base of Human genome project and rDNA technologies.
