Watson and Cricks

They discovered DNA. the blueprint for all living creatures.

They did not discover DNA. They discovered what form DNA has (a double helix) and that each of the four proteins that make up DNA have a partner. (Adenine with Thymine, Guarine with Cytocine) This was important because now scientists could understand how DNA replicates itself so consistently, because if one strand has the proteins T A G A, the other strand will be A T C T.

Answer 2

Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix structure of DNA in 1953 revolutionized the field of molecular Biology. It provided the fundamental framework for understanding how genetic information is stored and transmitted in living organisms. This discovery laid the foundation for numerous advancements in genetics, genomics, and biotechnology, influencing fields like medicine, agriculture, and forensics.

Answer 3

Because using X-rays by another scientist, they constructed a model of DNA.

Answer 4

shows the structure of DNA...helical, 2 strands. Discovered by x-ray diffraction
