She and Maurice Wilkins worked together and took some x-rays of DNA. The DNA crystallography allowed Watson and Crick to look at the picture to determine it was a double helix and not a triple helix as Linus Pauling had thought.
Her photographs of DNA helped them describe DNA's shape.
He did the exact same thing that James Watson did. He used the work of Rosalind Franklin to discover it. He and Crick were given credit not Rosalind Franklin. They found out the structure of DNA (the double helix).
Rosalind Franklin was an expert in x-ray crystallography who is famous for her x-ray diffraction images of DNA. Watson and Crick, who are commonly credited with the discovery of the structure of DNA, have admitted that Franklin's data played an integral part in their discovery of the double helix model of DNA. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 but since this was after Franklin's death, it is often assumed that Franklin would have also shared the prize is she had lived.
The discovery of the replication mechanism of DNA answered questions about evolution
She was an expert X ray crystallographer. Here photgrapfh of the DNA crystal gave Crick and Watson proof of their helix ideas, She died before the Nobel Prize could be awarded.
Rosalind Franklin worked with bundles of DNA

The research of Rosalind Elsie Franklin led to the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. She did not actually discover DNA, but opened the way for others. She died in 1958, four years before the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to her colleagues Maurice Wilkins, James Watson and Francis Crick for the discovery of the structure of DNA.
It was Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Elise Franklin.
No, DNA was first isolated by the Swiss physician. Also there were no African Americans involved in any subsequent work on DNA leading to the understanding of it structure.
He did the exact same thing that James Watson did. He used the work of Rosalind Franklin to discover it. He and Crick were given credit not Rosalind Franklin. They found out the structure of DNA (the double helix).
Three events that led to understanding the structure of DNA are: Chargaff's Rules, Franklin's Discovery, and Watson and Crick's Model.

rosilendFranklind and wilkins were enemys franklin She took pictures of DNA using xray diffraction and discovered DNA is helical. Later Wilkins stole her pictures and used her discovery as his own. in 1958 Rosilend franklen died.and in 1962 Wilkins got a reward by using franklens picture and passing it on as his own discovery.
Two key women who helped James D. Watson and Francis Crick with their research on the structure of DNA were Rosalind Franklin and Rosalind Elsie Franklin. Rosalind Franklin conducted groundbreaking X-ray crystallography work that provided crucial data on the structure of DNA, while Rosalind Elsie Franklin, a historical biophysicist, contributed to the understanding of DNA structure through her research on viruses. Their work, although often overshadowed at the time, was instrumental in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA.
Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, along with Ray Gosling, Alec Stokes, Herbert Wilson, and others at King's College in London, were integral to the discovery of DNA's structure in 1953.
