Beadle discovered that metabolic pathways are studied most effectively using which of the following techniques?
A)gene amplification
B)adding additional intermediates of the metabolic pathway
C)adding energy in the form of ATP
D)creating single gene mutations resulting in nonfunctional enzymes specific to a metabolic pathway

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creating single gene mutations resulting in nonfunctional enzymes specific to a metabolic pathway allowed Beadle to identify the gene and enzyme responsible for each step in the pathway, leading to a better understanding of how the pathway functions.
