Solution

The correct option is C Jacob and Monod
In 1961, Jacob and Monod proposed the existence of a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), a substance whose sequence is complementary to that of DNA in the cell. They postulated that the messenger carries the "information" encoded in the base sequence to ribosomes, the sites of protein synthesis.
