By: Alixandra Pamatian & Jesus Aguilar

In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins received the Nobel Prize in anatomy/physiology for their 1953 determination of the structure of DNA. Their great discovery and further development of DNA is used in detecting perpetrators connected to crimes. This was first used successfully in 1986.

The molecule that is the foundation for heredity, DNA, contains the patterns needed to create proteins in the body.

Evidence that it was DNA in the organic macromolecules was proven when scientists used x-ray crystallographers. As a result, they saw that chromosomes were responsible for heredity.
