What does Rosalind Franklin have to do with genetics?

Answer 1

Rosalind Franklin did the measurements using X-Rays that allowed James Watson and Franicis Crick to decipher the structure of DNA. Dr. Franklin probably would have shared the Noble Prize with Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins but she died before the prize was awarded but the Noble prize is not awarded posthumously. Without Franklin's work Watson and Crick would not have made their discovery.

Answer 2

Rosalind Franklin was a scientist who contributed to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure through her X-ray diffraction images of DNA. Her work provided crucial evidence that helped Watson and Crick propose their model of DNA structure. This discovery has had a significant impact on genetics and our understanding of heredity.

Answer 3

Rosalind Franklin was important because of her work on DNA and how she was determined to live her dream to become a scientist even though she was a woman
