James Watson and Francis Crick published their groundbreaking paper on the structure of DNA in 1953. The paper, titled "Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribonucleic Acid," was published in the journal Nature on April 25, 1953. Their work laid the foundation for understanding genetic inheritance and molecular Biology.
It is James Watson and Francis CricK In March 1953, Watson and Crick deduced the double helix structure of DNA Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for their research on the structure of nucleic acids.
The scientists who discovered that the transmittable molecule was DNA were James Watson, Francis Crick, and Rosalind Franklin, and it occurred in 1953. Watson and Crick are credited with proposing the double helix structure of DNA based on the X-ray diffraction images taken by Franklin.
The discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA, was made by Frederick Miescher, but the structure was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.Rosalind Franklin produced vital images of DNA through x-ray crystallography with which Watson and Crick were able to deduce the structure of DNA. Watson and Crick acquired Franklin's data (without her permission) and used it to propose a structure for DNA, which is now known to be correct (B form DNA). Some other data, other than Franklin's, was also taken into account.As a result, Watson and Crick are largely recognized as discovering the structure of DNA for the first time, but it was really Watson, Crick and Franklin (among other, less influential, work by other scientists).
ME!!! It would be nice if people would be serious about answering questions. Children of all ages come here to get help with homework and could use the CORRECT ANSWER which is: James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. Sorry but your wrong. The real answer is not Wotson and Crick but is really Rosalind Franklin back in 1898. If I were you I would look in the textbook because this is confusing children who look for the correct answer but get stuck in a situation where there are two different answers, I wouldn't turn to the internet for help if I were you. You're smart. All you need to do is think. Now I sound like a motivational speaker.. :/ ~Soon to be motivational speaker :P
Rosalind Franklin did not discover DNA. DNA was discovered long before she photographed the images via X-ray crystallography. With the help of these images, Watson and Crick were able to figure out the structure of the nucleic acid in 1953. Watson and Crick did not discover DNA either; they developed the concept of the "double helix," which was accepted as the structure of DNA.
1953
Watson and Crick proposed the double helix model of the DNA structure in 1953.
Francis Crick died on July 28, 2004 and James Watson is not dead.
At the present time (January 2008) James Watson is still alive but Francis Crick died in 2004. For a biography of Crick see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Crick James Watson will be turning 82 this year (2010) but Francis crick died in 2004
James Watson was born on April 6, 1928 and is still alive. Unfortunately, Francis Crick passed away on July 28, 2004 at the age of 88.
James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA in 1953. Watson and Crick, along with Maurice Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962. The prize was for their discovery regarding the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its importance in the information transfer in living material.

James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953
Francis Crick helped build the model of DNA in 1953 while working with James Watson at the University of Cambridge. Their groundbreaking discovery revealed the double helix structure of DNA, which revolutionized our understanding of genetics.
In 1953 Crick and Watson were able to interpret x-ray images after ingesting mild dosages of LSD.
They were an unlikely pair because of their 12-year difference in age, but still had a strong friendship and working relationship. your welcome, P.S- I'm working on the same thing
There is debate and controversy about who actually discovered the double helix. The two who made the report of the discovery was James Watson and Francis Crick. But their work was believed to be only possible through the discoveries by others, such as Raymond Gosling, Alexander Strokes and Herbert Wilson.
