Watson and Crick (1953) Discovered structure of DNA. –One of the most important biological discoveries in the last 100 years. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
Watson and Crick were able to figure out that one strand went up and one went down.
Watson and Crick also found that if they paired Thymine with Adenine and Guanine with Cytosine DNA would look uniform.

Please answer 3 of the 5 questions below from the difficult reading. –1.) Name four people in this article and how they contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure? –2.) What role did Maurice Wilkins play in the discovery of DNA’s structure? –3.) What two things in DNA’s structure did Watson and Crick figure out that Rosalind Franklin missed? –4.) Describe the relationship between of Rosalind Franklin to Watson, Crick, and Wilkins? –5.) How does getting things done first / taking risks relate to this article? –6.) Find three words that you did not know from the reading and use a dictionary / resource to define them? –7.) Create a comic book sequence between Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, James Watson, and Francis Crick from something discussed in the article.
