The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the origin of the "one-gene-one enzyme hypothesis." This hypothesis relates to the function of genes in controlling the synthesis of enzymes. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - R. Franklin - Hershey and Chase - A. Garrod - Beadle and Tatum 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **R. Franklin**: Rosalind Franklin was known for her work on the structure of DNA, particularly through X-ray crystallography. She did not propose the one-gene-one enzyme hypothesis. - **Hershey and Chase**: They conducted experiments that demonstrated DNA as the genetic material. They are not associated with the one-gene-one enzyme hypothesis. - **A. Garrod**: Garrod is known for his work in the field of inborn errors of metabolism and for discovering alkaptonuria. While he contributed to genetics, he did not propose the one-gene-one enzyme hypothesis. - **Beadle and Tatum**: George Beadle and Edward Tatum conducted experiments with the fungus Neurospora crassa and proposed the one-gene-one enzyme hypothesis, which states that each gene encodes a specific enzyme. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluations, the correct answer is **Beadle and Tatum**. ### Final Answer: The one-gene-one enzyme hypothesis was proposed by **Beadle and Tatum**. ---
