Watson Crick Franklin and Wilkins

James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins are credited with discovering the structure of DNA in 1953. Watson, Crick, and Franklin shared the 1962 Nobel Price in Medicine; however, Franklin had passed away so Wilkins co-accepted the award for Franklin.

636 Questions

What name did Watson and crick give to the shape of DNA?

Watson and Crick named the shape of DNA a "double helix." This name refers to the twisted ladder-like structure of two strands of nucleotides that form the DNA molecule.

What did Francis Crick invent?

Francis Crick discovered the Double Helix, the DNA strand.

How many experiments did Watson and Crick do?

Watson and Crick did not conduct any experiments to discover the structure of DNA. Instead, they used data from existing research and their own ingenuity to propose the double-helix model of DNA. It was based on Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction images and experimental data collected by others.

Who was the scientist who studied the DNA molecule using x-ray diffract?

While Crick, Wilkins and Franklin all used X-ray diffraction to try and decipher the molecule of DNA the best work was done by Rosalind Franklin with here B-51 diffraction " picture " of the double helix.

Is it fair that Watson and crick were credited for their discoveries when many others were involved?

no those fakes had help n they fake asf for taking all the creditz -.-t forget a fake friend where my real friends at? appaerently not with them smart ash peep who stab yo in the back for some lil bish ship!

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick built a model of DNA with the configuration of?

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick proposed a double helix model of DNA, which consists of two intertwined strands that run in opposite directions. This model explained how genetic information is stored and transmitted in living organisms.

Who first correctly described the molecular structure of DNA?

Sir James Watson and Sir Francis Crick first described the molecular structure of DNA correctly. They not only mentioned the fact that DNA is a helical structure, but also described how the constituting molecules are arranged in the helix. The base-pairing, sugar-phosphate backbone were first described by Watson and Crick.

What technique did James Watson and Francis Crick use to find DNA's?

They figured out it was a double helix in a formation consisting of molecules made up of Nitrogen Bases, Adenine(A) Thymine(T) Guanine(G), and Cytosine(C).

They got information from Rosalind Franklin's research on DNA. The data gave Watson and Francis clues they needed for the double helix thing.

Why was James beckworth famous?

Well James was captured by the crow Indians, and they had mistaken him for the Cheifs lost son, so they took him in and he stayed with them for so long, that when his adopdted father died, he became the chief of the Crows.

Who was Sir William Watson Cheyne and what did he do?

Sir William Watson Cheyne was a British surgeon and bacteriologist, who pioneered the use of antiseptical surgical methods in the United Kingdom, as well as abdominal surgery.

How did x ray diffraction help Watson and crick determine the structure of DNA?

Using the X-ray photo Rosalind Franklin had taken, Watson and Crick were able to conclude the fact that DNA is a double helix. Franklin's photo gave them an actual look at the DNA's structure.
