Explanation

Hargobind Khorana shared the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Marshall Nirenberg and Robert Holley for deciphering the genetic code and its role in protein synthesis. The Indian-American biochemist demonstrated how the nucleotide sequence of RNA determines the amino acid sequence of proteins, a fundamental breakthrough in molecular biology. His work laid the groundwork for modern genetic engineering. Note: The option misspells his name as 'Hargbind' instead of 'Hargobind.'
