Question

the discovery of the structure of dna is most widely attributed to this/these individual(s)....even if the data that was used might have been taken from other scientists without their knowledge or consent. watson and crick franklin and wilkins venter and collins hershey and chase mendel chargaff rewatch

Explanation:

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double - helix structure of DNA. While they used data (such as Rosalind Franklin's X - ray diffraction images) that may have been obtained without proper consent in some accounts, their model is the one most widely associated with the discovery of the DNA structure. Franklin and Wilkins were involved in X - ray crystallography of DNA but not the structure proposal. Venter and Collins were involved in the Human Genome Project. Hershey and Chase showed DNA was the genetic material. Mendel did work on inheritance in pea plants. Chargaff discovered base - pairing rules (e.g., A = T, G = C) but not the structure.

Answer:

Watson and Crick
