What research did Rosalind Franklin do during world war 2 that earned her a doctorate in physical chemistry?

During World War II, Rosalind Franklin's research focused on the porosity and structure of coal and graphite. Her work on the microstructure of coal led to her earning a doctorate in physical chemistry from Cambridge University in 1945.


What did Rosalind Franklin invent?

Rosalind Franklin did not invent anything, but she made significant contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA through her X-ray diffraction images of DNA fibers, which provided crucial evidence for the double helix model proposed by Watson and Crick.


What was the methods Watson and crick used to determine the structure of DNA?

Watson and Crick used X-ray crystallography data from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, along with model building and trial-and-error, to determine the double helix structure of DNA. They also relied on the existing knowledge of base pairing and chemical composition of DNA to support their model.


What methods did crick and Watson use to determine DNA structure?

Crick and Watson used X-ray diffraction data collected by Rosalind Franklin to propose the double helix structure of DNA. They also used model-building and trial-and-error methods to refine their proposed structure. Their discovery laid the foundation for understanding how genetic information is stored and passed on in living organisms.


What did James Watson do in 1953?

James Watson, along with Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin, discovered the double helix structure of DNA in 1953. This groundbreaking finding revolutionized the field of genetics and laid the foundation for further research in molecular biology.
