A gene dictates the product ion of a specifi c enzym e. These metabo lic pathwa ys, for instanc e, lead to the synthes is of. Beadle the pigmen ts that give a brown deer its fur color. and. The one gene- one enzyme hypoth esis states that the functio n of a gene is to dictate the product ion of a specifi c enzym. Genes act by regulati ng definite chemic al events. 17. 2 conclus ion: from the growth require ments of the mutant s, srb and. Horowi tz deduce d that each class of mutant was unable to carry out one step in the pathwa y for synthes izing arginin e, presum ably becaus e it lacked the necessa ry enzym. Becaus e each of their mutant s was mutate d in a single gene, they conclu ded that each mutate d gene must normal ly indicat e the product ion of one enzym.
