Answer

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded within genetic material (such as DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins. Har Gobind Khorana, an Indian-American molecular biologist, made significant contributions to deciphering this code. His research involved the use of synthetic RNA molecules to determine the specific nucleotide sequences that code for particular amino acids.
