Question

friedrich miescher, a swiss scientist, was first credited with isolating dna and suggesting that it could be used for heredity in 1869. hershey and chase confirmed that dna is used to pass on traits from parent to offspring in 1952 by experimenting with viral bacteriophages. one year later, scientists watson and crick determined the structure of dna. however, while watson and crick are always credited with the discovery of dnas structure, there was a prominent female scientist who unknowingly helped in the discovery. while conducting her own research, rosalind franklin took an x-ray photograph of the structure of dna two years before that ultimately helped watson and crick determine the structure of dna.

1. first isolated dna and suggested its use in heredity.
2. the three scientists that are credited with the discovery of the structure of dna are: , and

Explanation:

The text describes the discovery of DNA's structure. Watson and Crick are well - known for determining the double - helix structure of DNA. Rosalind Franklin's X - ray crystallography work (Photo 51) was crucial as it provided key data that helped Watson and Crick. Maurice Wilkins also played a role in sharing Franklin's work with Watson and Crick.

Answer:

Watson, Crick, Franklin
