Question
in 1953, who developed the model that is shown below?
james watson and francis crick
marshall nirenberg and heinrich matthaei
rosalind franklin
erwin chargaff
The model shown is the double - helix structure of DNA. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick developed this model. Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei worked on cracking the genetic code. Rosalind Franklin's X - ray diffraction images were crucial for understanding DNA structure but she did not develop the model. Erwin Chargaff discovered base - pairing rules (Chargaff's rules) but not the double - helix model.
