Answer 1

The proof for the fact that protein synthesis occurs through gene was given by George Beadle and Edward Tatum.

Explanation:

In 1941, George Beadle and Edward Tatum worked with the pink bread mould (Neurospora crassa) and demonstrated that genes regulate cellular chemistry by directing the production of specific enzymes (proteins).

Their work led to the famous “One Gene-One Enzyme” hypothesis, which provided the first definitive proof that genes control the synthesis of proteins.
