Who discovered that the shape of DNA is a double helix?

Answer 1

Watson and Crick using Rosalind Franklin's x-ray of a double helix of DNA which she had not yet realized was a double helix

Rosalind Franklin made an x-ray that showed the nucleotide structure of DNA. Watson and Crick used her x-ray to make their 3-D model of DNA's structure.

Answer 2

Rosalind Franklin is credited with her substantial contributions to determining the double-helix structure of DNA via X-ray diffraction with the help of Maurice Wilkins.

The work of a number of other scientists was instrumental in understanding the important role of DNA, including that of James Watson and Francis Crick. However, it was Franklin's 'Photograph 51' that provided a real breakthrough in understanding its structure.
The gem scientist James Watson along with Francis Crick discovered the double helical structure of the DNA. This was the landmark discovery, which will fascinate the generations to come, for thousands of years. Born in April 6 1928, in USA, now he is 86. May God bless him with long and healthy life.

Answer 3

James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with discovering that the shape of DNA is a double helix in 1953. Their work was based on X-ray diffraction data collected by Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and others.

Answer 4

Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin, along with Ray Gosling, Alec Stokes, Herbert Wilson, and others at King's College in London, were integral to the discovery of DNA's structure in 1953.

Answer 5

Rosalind Franklin discovered that DNA is in the shape of helix while using a X-ray on DNA. She died later from a disease most likely caused by too much exposure to X-rays.

Answer 6

Watson & Crick proposed the DNA double helical model!
