François Jacob's research helped to elucidate the process of?

  • Photosynthesis

  • Protein synthesis

  • Muscle contraction

  • Nerve conduction

Answer

Protein synthesis is the process by which cells create proteins. It involves the transcription of DNA into RNA, and the subsequent translation of RNA into proteins. This process is essential for the growth and function of all living organisms. François Jacob's research on the regulation of gene expression, specifically the operon model, was instrumental in understanding how the production of proteins can be controlled within cells.
