Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) Arthur Kornberg
Explanation
Arthur Kornberg isolated the first DNA polymerase in 1956 and synthesised DNA in vitro.
He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine (1959) with Severo Ochoa for the biological synthesis of nucleic acids.
Hooke (cell), Jenner (vaccine) and Lister (antisepsis) are unrelated to in-vitro DNA synthesis.
