What was the impact of Nirenberg's discovery on medicine?
Improved vaccine development
Enhanced antibiotic production
Faster surgical recovery
Reduced genetic diseases
Answer
Improved vaccine development was a significant impact of Nirenberg's discovery. Understanding the genetic code allowed scientists to identify and target specific genes responsible for diseases. This led to the development of vaccines that could prevent or treat diseases by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack specific pathogens.
