Fluid mosaic model of cell membrane was put forward by

1. Danielli and Davson
2. Singer and Nicolson
3. Garner and Allard
4. Watson and Crick

Correct answer: Singer and Nicolson

Solution

Singer and Nicolson proposed the fluid mosaic model, describing the cell membrane as a fluid phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that can move laterally. Danielli and Davson proposed an earlier sandwich model, not the fluid mosaic model.
