उत्तर

The first codon to be deciphered was UUU which codes for Phenylalanine.

Explanation:

In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei performed a groundbreaking experiment to begin “cracking” the genetic code. They used a synthetic poly-U RNA strand (made entirely of Uracil bases) in a cell-free system. They discovered that this UUU message led to the creation of a protein chain consisting solely of the amino acid phenylalanine. This was the first time a specific codon was successfully matched to a specific amino acid, marking a massive milestone in molecular biology.
