Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin.
James Watson and Francis Crick developed the double helical model by interpreting X-Ray diffraction patterns of DNA.
The two scientists to establish DNA are James Watson and Francis Crick.
Franklin, Crick, and Watson were scientists who made significant contributions to understanding the structure of DNA. Franklin's X-ray diffraction images provided crucial information about DNA's helical structure, which Watson and Crick used to propose the double helix model. Wilson is not typically associated with this work.
Watson and Crick used the X-ray diffraction patterns to determine that DNA was a helical molecule. Withe the use of models, they built what we know as the DNA Double-Helix.
James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with determining the structure of DNA in 1953. Their discovery of the double helix structure paved the way for understanding how genetic information is stored and transmitted.
There were a number of scientists, but when people talk about "the two" they usually mean Francis Crick and James Watson. They, with Maurice Wilkins, received a Nobel Prize for their work.Although a number of noted scientists played a part in the discovery.
Watson and crick
Watson and Crick used the X-ray diffraction patterns to determine that DNA was a helical molecule. Withe the use of models, they built what we know as the DNA Double-Helix.
The X-ray diffraction image 'photograph 51' is where this question is leading -- this photograph, produced by rosalind Franklin and presented to Watson and crick by maurice wilkins in 1953 confirmed the double-helix structure of the DNA.
James Watson and Francis Crick....
James Watson and Francis Crick elucidated the structure of DNA in 1953. Also useful in a sterochemical fashion was the X-ray diffraction work of Rosalind Franklin. Wilkins also contributed diffraction work.
Yes, Rosalind Franklin's research on the structure of DNA played a crucial role in the discovery of its double helix structure by Watson and Crick. Franklin's X-ray diffraction images provided key insights that helped Watson and Crick formulate their model of DNA.
