Chapter 12.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The function of the enzyme missing in the experiment in group 2 mutants.
Introduction: The Beadle and Tatum’s one gene one protein concept was ground breaking as it led to the establishment of connection between gene and protein. The concept was proved by the use of
