What resulted from the mutations caused in Beadle and Tatum's experiment?
Changes in protein structure
Changes in specific enzymes
Discovery of DNA strands
Breakdown of cellular structure
Answer
Changes in specific enzymes resulted from the mutations caused by Beadle and Tatum's experiment, providing initial evidence for the "one gene, one enzyme" hypothesis. This concept laid the foundation for modern molecular biology, recognizing the direct relationship between genes, the proteins they encode, and the specific biochemical functions these proteins perform.
