What first prompted james watsons desire to solve the structure of dna?
In 1950, Watson studied x-ray crystallography and was assigned to share an office with Francis Crick. Watson had the idea of using x-ray pattern of proteins on DNA.
What contribution did James Watson and francis crick make to science?
On February 8th, 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick were putting together a model of DNA (deoxyribosenucleic acid), but they only had enough information to make an accurate model when they saw Franklin and Wilkins picture of the X-ray. They figured out that structure; a "double helix" can "unzip" to make copies of itself, which confirmed suspicions that DNA carries life's hereditary information
Why might life have formed near hydrothermal vents in the past but not today?
The amino acids formed near the vents today are rapidly eaten by other life forms.
What did Watson and Crick do after they discovered DNA?
Watson and Crick did not discover DNA - it had been isolated, then called nuclein, in 1869. What remained unknown was the structure of DNA - this is what Watson and Crick proposed. After they came up with a structure for DNA (1953), they went to 'The Eagle' pub in Cambridge, just round the corner from their lab, and Crick announced to the other customers that he and Watson had discovered 'the secret of life'. The Eagle now has a plaque commemorating the event. They also wrote a letter to Nature, though presumably not while at the pub. Watson and Crick did not discover DNA. What they did was examine the data collected by others, and propose a structure for the DNA molecule.
