Luria–Delbrück experiment

Target entity: Luria–Delbrück experiment
Context triple: [Max Delbrück, knownFor, Luria–Delbrück experiment]

• A. Koch's postulates
  Koch's postulates are a set of criteria formulated in the late 19th century to establish a causal relationship between a specific microorganism and a particular disease.
• B. Cockcroft–Walton experiment
  The Cockcroft–Walton experiment was a pioneering 1932 nuclear physics experiment that achieved the first artificial disintegration of atomic nuclei using accelerated protons, confirming Einstein’s mass–energy equivalence.
• C. Ives–Stilwell experiment
  The Ives–Stilwell experiment is a classic test of special relativity that measured the relativistic Doppler effect to confirm time dilation for fast-moving ions.
• D. Max Delbrück
  Max Delbrück was a German-American biophysicist and Nobel Prize–winning pioneer of molecular genetics whose work on bacteriophages helped establish the foundations of modern molecular biology.
• E. Trouton–Noble experiment
  The Trouton–Noble experiment was an early 20th-century test of the luminiferous aether that searched for a torque on a charged capacitor in motion and, by finding no such effect, provided support for the emerging theory of special relativity.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Luria–Delbrück experiment
Target entity description: The Luria–Delbrück experiment was a landmark 1943 study in bacterial genetics that demonstrated mutations arise randomly rather than in response to selective pressure, providing key evidence for the genetic basis of evolution.

  Koch's postulates are a set of criteria formulated in the late 19th century to establish a causal relationship between a specific microorganism and a particular disease.
• B. Meitner–Hahn experiments
  The Meitner–Hahn experiments were pioneering nuclear physics investigations in the 1930s that led to the discovery and explanation of nuclear fission in uranium.
