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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Which scientist was not involved in determining the structure of DNA?
Albert Einstein was not involved in determining the structure of DNA. The scientists credited with this discovery are James Watson and Francis Crick, along with contributions from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
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.
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.
What are the four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair?
The four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair are DNA polymerase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and DNA primase. DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands, DNA helicase unwinds the double helix, DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand, and DNA primase synthesizes RNA primers for DNA polymerase to begin replication.
Which of these scientists along with James Watson helped discover the DNA molecule?
Francis Crick, along with James Watson, is credited with the discovery of the DNA molecule. Together, they proposed the double helix structure of DNA in 1953.
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.
It is fair that Watson and Crick were credited with the discovery when so many other scientists were involved?
Watson and Crick were credited with the discovery of the DNA double helix structure because they were the first to propose a correct and detailed model. While other scientists made significant contributions, Watson and Crick's model was the most complete and influential at the time. Scientific discoveries often involve collaboration and contributions from multiple individuals.
What led scientists accepting mendel idea?
Scientists discovered chromosomes in DNA
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. =)
Why did people not believe the scientists who discovered DNA?
At the time of its discovery, DNA was not well understood by the public, leading to skepticism and a lack of belief in its significance. Additionally, the implications of DNA research challenged existing beliefs about inheritance and evolution, leading some to reject this new scientific information. Over time, as more evidence emerged supporting the discovery of DNA and its role in genetics, its importance became widely recognized.
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.
