Detailed explanation-1: -Crick, Watson, and Franklin: The Race to Discover the Structure of DNA. In 1953, three English biochemists helped unlock the mystery of life by determining the double helix structure of the DNA molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray crystallography, it revealed the helical shape of the DNA molecule. Watson and Crick realized that DNA was made up of two chains of nucleotide pairs that encode the genetic information for all living things.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins for their discovery of the molecular structure of DNA, which helped solve one of the most important of all biological riddles.
Detailed explanation-4: -Two weeks later James Watson and Francis Crick, at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, built their now celebrated model of DNA as a double helix.
