The molecular structure of DNA was deduced by X-Ray diffractions by Rosalind Franklin. When analyzed by Watson and Crick, the DNA molecule was determined to have a double helix structure.
DNA code is simple in structure.The double helix structure of the DNA molecule is like a long ladder twisted into a spiral.
Molecular structure of DNA consists of Nucleotides that carry genetic information. However RNA also has nucleotides but it is not as stable as DNA. So, I think the stability of DNA structure is what "makes it uniquely qualified to function as information carrier".
Between 1869 when the molecule was discovered and 1953, when its molecular structure was identified.
Sir James Watson and Sir Francis Crick first described the molecular structure of DNA correctly. They not only mentioned the fact that DNA is a helical structure, but also described how the constituting molecules are arranged in the helix. The base-pairing, sugar-phosphate backbone were first described by Watson and Crick.
no.. its basis as a molecular structure (nucleosides) means it cant carry out the functions of growth, reproduction, etc, hence it cannot be classified as an organism!
The molecuar structure of DNA
Histones
They discovered: molecular structure of DNA. That's all I know
The molecular biology and uses and structure for DNA definately.

A statement or a conclusion that has been deduced.
They applied the clues provided by Chargaff's rules and Franklin's X-ray diffraction studies. Using brass and wire models of the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups, Watson and Crick deduced that the structure of the DNA molecule is a double helix.
Watson and Crick
James D. Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "For their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in liviing material." (DNA structure)
