One gene, one enzyme | Beadle and Tatum (article) | Khan Academy

summary

• Beadle and Tatum's experiments exposing bread mould to X-ray radiation resulted in their one gene-one enzyme hypothesis, later expanded to the one gene-one polypeptide hypothesis
• A gene is a DNA sequence of bases that specifies the exact sequence of assembly of amino acids by a ribosome, into a unique polypeptide
