Watson and Crick
they described the structure of DNA
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.
The structure of DNA was described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
DNA double helix discovered by Francis Crick, James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
Double stranded, single stranded. DNA can be described as having a double helix structure.

DNA is described as a double helix because its structure resembles a twisted ladder, with two strands that are twisted around each other in a spiral shape. This shape allows DNA to store and transmit genetic information efficiently.
