Question

Read the following statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1: Frederick Sanger developed the method for determination of amino acid sequences in proteins.
Statement 2: Sequencing of DNA bases was done on the method developed by Frederick Sanger.

• A. Both the statements are correct
• B. Both the statements are incorrect
• C. Only statement 1 is correct
• D. Only statement 2 is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both the statements are correct

Frederick Sanger developed the method on the basis of which the DNA fragments were sequenced in Human Genome Project.

Sanger won his first Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1958 for his work on the structure of protein. He also devised the method to determine the sequence of the amino acids in the proteins.

Thus, both the statements are correct.
