Watson and Crick were the first to figure out the shape of DNA, which turns out to be a double helix. They did not make it, they observed it.

How many stands make up DNA double helix?
The DNA double helix contains two coiled biopolymer strands. The double helix was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick.
What discovery did Watson and Crick make about the structure of DNA?
They discovered the double helix.
How did x-ray diffraction photographs help Watson and crick determine the structure of DNA?
It helped reveal the characteristic shape of a double helix
What contribution did James Watson and francis crick make to science?
On February 8th, 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick were putting together a model of DNA (deoxyribosenucleic acid), but they only had enough information to make an accurate model when they saw Franklin and Wilkins picture of the X-ray. They figured out that structure; a "double helix" can "unzip" to make copies of itself, which confirmed suspicions that DNA carries life's hereditary information
Double helix definition?
the double helix refers to the SHAPE OF A DNA MOLECULE!!! It isn't that hard of a connection to make.
Who discovered that the shape of DNA is a double helix?
Watson and Crick using Rosalind Franklin's x-ray of a double helix of DNA which she had not yet realized was a double helix Rosalind Franklin made an x-ray that showed the nucleotide structure of DNA. Watson and Crick used her x-ray to make their 3-D model of DNA's structure.
What make up both side of DNA double helix ladder?
The sides of the DNA double helix ladder is composed of alternating phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars.
What age is James Watson?
James Watson was born April 6, 1928. That would make him 84 years old.
What molecules come together to make a DNA molecule?
Nucleotides which formed double helix.
What accomplishments did James Watson and francis crick make?
fu
Where did James Watson make his big discovery?
in Hollywood as a producer a dolly
How many books did Francis Crick make?
Francis Crick was a prominent molecular biologist and neuroscientist. While he published numerous scientific papers throughout his career, he did not write any books attributed solely to him.
