DNA was discovered in the 1860's by Johann Friedrich Miescher. Albrecht Kossel was the first to begin to sort out its structure. When we talk about the 'discovery' of DNA we are often really thinking about the work which established its detailed structure, the famous 'double helix'. This was the culmination of the work of many people, but the Nobel prize went to Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. Many people also point out the contribution of Rosalind Franklin, who died before the Nobel award was made.

Events the led to the discovery of DNA?
Watson and crick and the discovery of the double helix
Who were the 2 scientists that received noble prizes for discovering that DNA had double helix structure?
Watson and Crick ---- James Watson and Francis Crick won the 1962 prize for Medecine for this discovery.
What is an example of a scientific discovery being affected by available technology?
the discovery of the structure of DNA, which occurred as the result of an x-ray image of a DNA molecule
What was the discovery of Watson and Crick?
helical structure of DNA
How is DNA replication affected by a lack of mRNA?
Not at all. mRNA is not involved in DNA replication as it is involved in transcription and translation.
Who was responsible for the discovery of DNA as a double helix?
Scientists by the name of James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA to be in the form of a double helix.
Who scientists are primarily responsible for the discovery of the structure of DNA?
The double helical structure was discovered by Watson & Crick.
What are the four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair?
DNA polymerase III DNA polymerase I DNA Ligase DNA Helicase
Did an African American contribute to the discovery of DNA?
No, DNA was first isolated by the Swiss physician. Also there were no African Americans involved in any subsequent work on DNA leading to the understanding of it structure.
Why is it important for scientists to be able to remove DNA from and organism?
It's important for scientists to be able to remove DNA from an organism because it'll help scientists identify genetic disorders or diseases.
What unifying theme brought the work of Mendel and Darwin together in the in the big picture of biology?
The discovery of DNA as the genetic material was the unified theme.
Who discovered GMO's?
Watson and Crick did with the discovery of the strucure of the DNA molecule in 1953 but the first GMO had been made in the 70's in California, by Americans scientists. =)
What question did the discovery of the replication mechanism of DNA answer?
The discovery of the replication mechanism of DNA answered questions about evolution
What led scientists accepting mendel idea?
Scientists discovered chromosomes in DNA
How do scientists manipulate DNA?
Scientists manipulate DNA by splitting apart the DNA into segments via gel electrocophesis. Then, they can manipulate the DNA as they please.
What two forms of DNA did Rosalind Franklin discover?
The research of Rosalind Elsie Franklin led to the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. She did not actually discover DNA, but opened the way for others. She died in 1958, four years before the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to her colleagues Maurice Wilkins, James Watson and Francis Crick for the discovery of the structure of DNA.
Who where all the scientists who are and should be credited for the discovery of DNA?
The double helical structure of DNA was found by James Watson and Francis Crick, hence the name "Watson And Crick Model" of DNA.howeverDNA was first identified and isolated by Friedrich Meischer.
