Who are the scientists that discovered the structure of DNA?
A
Garcia, Weir, and Lesh
B
Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow
C
Watson, Crick, and Franklin
D
Anastasio, McConnell, and Gordon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These four scientists-Crick, Franklin, Watson, and Wilkins-codiscovered the double-helix structure of DNA, which formed the basis for modern biotechnology.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Our university was dedicated in 2004 to Rosalind Franklin, PhD, the brilliant and trailblazing scientist whose Photo 51 revealed the double helix of DNA-a discovery that was essential in unlocking the mystery to how life is passed down from generation to generation. Dr.
