Q. Degeneracy of genetic code was discovered by:

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2003

Solution:

Degeneracy of codons is the redundancy of the genetic code, exhibited as the multiplicity of three codon combinations specifying an amino acid. The degeneracy of the genetic code is what accounts for the existence of synonymous mutations. Baurn field & Nirenberg were the first to discover the degeneracy of genetic code.
