How old were the people who discovered DNA?
James Watson was 25 years oldFrancis Crick was 37 years old
How old would rosalind Franklin be if she was alive today?
It is possible that the structure of DNA (double helix) may not have been discovered. Rosalind Franklin is famous for her x-ray photographs of DNA which were later used by James Watson and Francis Crick to determine the helical structure of DNA.
Who is responsible for the double helix model?
The people to discover (or create the first X-ray crystallographic IMAGE of the DNA double helix were Rosaline Franklin and her co-worker/assistant Mr. Wilkins. Actually she was the one to discover the shape by taking an xray of the DNA under a microscope, but her coworkers didn't like Franklin so they took the credit after her death. She discovered that the shape of DNA is a double helix. She deserves the real credit, but she did not get it because of her death and because she was a woman; she was believed to be less intellegent because she was a woman.More detailed description:Many people think that Watson, Crick, and Wilkins are the ones who discovered the structure of DNA, but they are wrong. Just because they won the Nobel Prize doesn't mean they deserved it. Roslin Franklin is really the one who discovered it, as also she made better gas masks at the time of the war, and discovered 2 viruses. Wilkins and Roslin hated each other because they both wanted to be in charge in the lab but neither wanted to step down to be an assistant so in the lab Roslin and Wilkins are both working seperatly to try and discovers the structure/shape of the DNA first. Watson and Crick made a model of DNA and Roslin Franklin proved their model totally wrong and Watson and Crick got fired by their boss. So both men were mad at Roslin and Watson was extremely jealous. Wilkins met up with his old buddies Watson and Crick and they talked about how "rude" Roslin Franklin was and called her a mean nickname "Rosey". Then Wilkins asked Roslin if he could see her work but she refused because she wanted to o further into her studies and not have other people messing with her information and discoveries. Roslin had already discovered the structure of DNA but was busy trying to learn more about it so she didn't report it, she had taken an x-ray of DNA in the shape of an X that she called Photo 51. In her notes she discribed how DNA was in a double-helix shape. Watson had snuck into her office and stolen her research papers stating the helix shape and PHOTO 51! So then he showed Wilkins and Crick and together they made a model of DNA and won an award they didn't deserve. However if it weren't for Watson's jealousy and mentioning how slyly he had stolen her info in his book The Double Helix no one would've none that Roslin Franklin had discovered it. She is now only today getting credit for it, Roslin had died from radiation sickness from all the x-rays she took no too long before The Double Helix was discovered.
Who showed that new DNA is made from copying the old DNA?
Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl show how new DNA is made by copying the old.
New DNA is replicated in strands complementary to old DNA because production of new DNA follows the rules of?
base pairing

How old is Jared Crick?
As of the end of the 2013-2014 NFL season Jared Crick is 24 years old.
Who came up with the idea of genetic engineering?
Genetic Engineering, the technique of DNA cloning was perfected by Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer in 1973. Genetic engineering cannot be perfected. It likely never will be. It is an evolving science, roughly 20-30 old (when you consider the complexity of the subject).
Was Margaret Thatcher a student of Marie curie?
Yes, she was Marie's student. You should search it up sweetie. Actually no, this is incorrect- Marie Curie died in 1934 when Thatcher was only 9 years old. However, Thatcher DID study chemistry under the tutelage of another famous lady scientist, Dorothy Hodgkin. Hodgkin was the person who REALLY discovered DNA, although her research was plagiarised by Francis Crick and James Watson, who went on to take the credit (and the Nobel Prize of 1953) for it.
What is the oldest DNA strand discovered and who discovered it?
Edward Golenberg of the University of California extracted a fragment of DNA from chloroplasts of a fossil Magnolia leaf. They excavated the fossil from the clay beds of a Miocene lake (17 to 20 million years old) in Clarkia, Idaho
How old is Waylon Francis?
As of June 2014, Waylon Francis is 23 years old.
