Solution

The correct option is A

Kary Mullis


Herbert W. Boyer discovered a method to coax bacteria into producing foreign proteins, thereby jump starting the field of genetic engineering.

Har Gobind Khorana research helped to show how the order of nucleotides in nucleic acids, which carry the genetic code of the cell, control the cell’s synthesis of proteins.

Arthur Kornberg was the first scientist to identify deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase in the intestinal bacterium E coli.

Kary Mullis received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 for his invention of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
