Who did Watson and crick take the double helix model of DNA from?
Rosalind Franklin
How did rosalind Franklin's x-ray diffraction affect the work of Watson and crick?
Rosalind Franklin used x-ray crystalography to receive pictures of the DNACrick and Watson then used the photo to determine that that the structure of DNA was a double helix - hoped that help :)
What does Rosalind Franklin have to do with genetics?
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.
What was the scandal for Watson and Crick?
The Watson and Crick scandal was when James Watson and Francis Crick were trying to figure out the 3 dimensional structure of DNA. They came very close to discovering it when they discovered a fellow scientist named Rosalind Franklin had the data they needed. Instead of collaborating with her, Watson and Crick broke into her lab, stole her data, quickly figured out the structure, and did not give her any credit. When they won the Nobel Prize in 1962, they mentioned many names but her name was not on the list. Later, Watson openly admitted that they stole from Rosalind Franklin.
Who offered the model of DNA molecule structure?
The helical nature was discovered by Rosalind Franklin and Watson and Crick first built the model of it.
How did Rosalind Franklin evidence affect the work of Watson and Crick?
Rosalind Franklin drew a picture of a DNA molecule and it does not like similar to Watson and Crick's DNA diagram. Rosalind Franklin was smarter than them. It was used to determine the physical structure of DNA.
Did Watson and Crick give any credit to Rosalind Franklin?
No
How did Rosalind Franklin data help Watson and crick with their researcher?
No
Watson and Crick with the help of Rosalind Franklin developed the?
double helix
Who did Watson and crick take the double helix model of DNA from?
Rosalind Franklin
How did rosalind Franklin's x-ray diffraction affect the work of Watson and crick?
Rosalind Franklin used x-ray crystalography to receive pictures of the DNACrick and Watson then used the photo to determine that that the structure of DNA was a double helix - hoped that help :)
What important work helped Watson and Crick develop the model of DNA?
James Watson (L) and Francis Crick (R),and the model they built of the structure of DNA.
How did Rosalind Franklin work influenced Watson and Crick?
Watson and Crick took the credi for discovering the DNA helix. That's when they made their famous model.So she influenced them.
What did Francis Crick do to contribute to DNA?
He did the exact same thing that James Watson did. He used the work of Rosalind Franklin to discover it. He and Crick were given credit not Rosalind Franklin. They found out the structure of DNA (the double helix).
What is the name of a famous scientist who studied DNA?
James Watson Francis Crick Rosalind Franklin Fred Griffith Linus Pauling Martha Chase
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.
Want did James Watson invent?
James Watson,working with Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin discovered the shape of the DNA molecule.
