What scientific discovery spurred the rapid advancements in the fields of genetics? the understanding that heredity was by chance the knowledge of how chromosomes duplicate the understanding that genes code for specific proteins the understanding of how rna translates dna

Answer;

the understanding that genes code for specific proteins

-The scientific discovery that spurred the rapid advancements in the fields of genetics is the understanding that genes code for specific proteins.

Explanation;

-Each gene tells the cell how to put together the building blocks for one specific protein. However, the gene (DNA) sits inside a different compartment of the cell (the nucleus) from the location of the cellular machines that make proteins (ribosomes).

-The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm.

This scientific discovery spurred the rapid advancements in the field of genetics.

it would be a lot of diff ones. hope this ! < 3 : )
