because they used other team's information to build their models . which is the structure of DNA
basically they got married to da double helix
She was close to solve the 3D structure of the DNA molecule, she had even got the X ray diffraction pattern that was helped solve the structure by Watson and Crick.
Watson and Crick got the Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA.
Along with Watson JW, Francis Crick elucidated the DNA structure in 1953 for which both of them got the Nobel prize
Francis Crick and James Watson are primarily credited, although Maurice Wilkins also helped them and received the Nobel Prize for it. Also, Rosalind Franklin took a photo of DNA, which was stolen and given to Watson and Crick without her permission. They then used it to discover the double helix shape of DNA. She got very little credit having been ignored and then dying of cancer just before the others received the Nobel Prize, as you cannot get this if you are dead. So Francis, James,and Rosalind got credit for finding DNA!!!!
She was close to solve the structure of the DNA, she had even got the X ray diffraction pictures.
Francis Crick and James WatsonDNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) appears likely to have evolved from the much simpler molecule, RNA. Of course, DNA was not the only possible direction in which evolution could have taken, but it has proven to be a very successful one.DNA was first discovered back in 1869 by Johann Friedrich Miescher. The fundamental structure of DNA was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick, although many people believe that Rosalind Franklin also played a large role in their research.Simple Answer:James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with the first correct double-helix model of DNA structure published in 1953 in the journal Nature.More Complicated:Credit for the research leading to the discovery of the structure of DNA is controversial. The publication by Watson and Crick was based on an x-ray image taken by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in May 1952. A critical problem in an earlier model was corrected based on private communications from Erwin Chargaff.Several critical publications occurred at almost the same time. A separate paper by Franklin and Gosling's provided the X-ray diffraction data and original analysis method for the Watson and Crick model. Maurice Wilkins also published X-ray patterns also supporting a double-helix molecular 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.Simple Answer:James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with the first correct double-helix model of DNA structure published in 1953 in the journal Nature.More Complicated:Credit for the research leading to the discovery of the structure of DNA is controversial.

Actually, a lady X-ray crystallographer got 'er done before they did but that's another story.Watson and Crick
She didn't discovered the DNA. She contributed to the understanding of its structure. DNA was first isolated by Friedrich Miescher in 1869.
Watson and Crick, however they got it entirely inside-out because of misreading marginal quality x-ray crystallographs on the first try. Later with better x-ray crystallographs they got it right on the second try.
You don't. Watson and Crick only figured out that it's in a helix shape by scattering x-rays across it and working backwards to figure out what shape would cause the interference pattern that they got.
Rosalind Franklin discovered that DNA has the shape of a double helix by using x-ray technology. However, two scientists got the credit for discovering the double helix shape of DNA, James Watson and Francis Crick. Watson and Crick get the credit for discovering the double helix shape because Rosalind Franklin died in 1958, and the first Nobel prize for discovery wasn't awarded until 1962.
