Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins received the Nobel prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA. Notably absent from the podium was Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray photographs of DNA contributed directly to the discovery of the double helix.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Watson and Crick’s model, the two strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases on opposite strands. Each pair of bases lies flat, forming a “rung” on the ladder of the DNA molecule. Base pairs aren’t made up of just any combination of bases.
