" Franklin made marked advances in x-ray diffraction techniques with DNA. She adjusted her equipment to produce an extremely fine beam of x-rays. She extracted finer DNA fibers than ever before and arranged them in parallel bundles. And she studied the fibers' reactions to humid conditions. All of these allowed her to discover crucial keys to DNA's structure. Wilkins shared her data, without her knowledge, with James Watson andFrancis Crick, at Cambridge University, and they pulled ahead in the race, ultimately publishing the proposed structure of DNA in March, 1953. "
^^^^ INFO FROM WIKI ^^^^
Long story short, she contributed in a great way to finding the structure of the DNA, however, she did not know that all the work she had done was actually recognised by Watson and Crick.
She later died at only the age of 37, so she did not win a Nobel prize from her great achievement, this is because she did not publish her work, and so Crick and Watson took the recognition
I hope that helped..
look on wiki, for other info on it too :)

What was rosalind franklin's hobbies?
Rosalind Franklin was a biologist who discovered the structure of DNA. Her hobbies were traveling and she was an avid hiker.
How did Rosalind Franklin evidence affect the work of Watson and Crick?
Rosalind Franklin drew a picture of a DNA molecule and it does not like similar to Watson and Crick's DNA diagram. Rosalind Franklin was smarter than them. It was used to determine the physical structure of DNA.
Which scientist was not involved in determining the structure of DNA?
Which scientist was not involved in determining the structure of DNA?
What did Francis Crick do to contribute to DNA?
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).
What did James Watson and francis crick do?
Together with Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin they discovered the structure of DNA.
What did Rosalind Franklin discover?
the helix structure of DNA
What was rosalind franklin's hobbies?
Rosalind Franklin was a biologist who discovered the structure of DNA. Her hobbies were traveling and she was an avid hiker.
What did Rosalind Franklin's DNA Ray suggest?
It suggested that the structure of DNA was helical.
What did Rosalind Franklin invent?
she did NOT come up with DNA. she discovered the structure of DNA.
What women helped Willson with DNA?
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.

Which scientist was not involved in determining the structure of DNA?
What work did Rosalind Franklin do to investigate the structure of DNA?
rosalind frankin is a pioneer she invented d.n.a e.t.c
What woman contirbuted to the discovery of the DNA double-helix structure?
Rosalind Franklin
Who conducted the X-ray diffraction studies that were key to the discovery of the structure of DNA?
It was Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Elise Franklin.
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.
What did Francis Crick do to contribute to DNA?
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).
