Name the scientists who proposed an accurate model of DNA in 1952?

James Watson and Francis Crick proposed an accurate model of DNA in 1952, known as the double helix structure. Their model revolutionized the understanding of genetics and is still considered one of the most important discoveries in biology.


Two scientists are given credit discovering the structure of dna.What is the name of those two sicentists?

The two scientists credited with the discovery of the structure of DNA are James Watson and Francis Crick. They proposed the double helix structure of DNA in 1953, based on data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.


How did Watson and crick decide the order of their names on the paper published in Nature that solved the structure of DNA?

Watson suggested the order of the names be alphabetical, but Crick insisted that his name be listed second, stating that he was more responsible for the model than Watson. Ultimately, they compromised by flipping a coin to determine the order, with Watson's name being listed first.


What female scientist viewed x-ray images of DNA?

Rosalind Franklin, her improved skills in X-ray crystallography provided a clear x-ray diffraction pattern which suggested that the DNA was helical in shape and nature. This image is what helped Watson and Crick complete their renowned double-helix structure.


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.

What was the scandal for Watson and Crick?

The Watson and Crick scandal was when James Watson and Francis Crick were trying to figure out the 3 dimensional structure of DNA. They came very close to discovering it when they discovered a fellow scientist named Rosalind Franklin had the data they needed. Instead of collaborating with her, Watson and Crick broke into her lab, stole her data, quickly figured out the structure, and did not give her any credit. When they won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they mentioned many names but her name was not on the list. Later, Watson openly admitted that they stole from Rosalind Franklin.
