learning of Crick and Watson‚ along with many other scientists. Clearly‚ Crick and Watson made a great team; they impacted the history of science and paved the road for future discoveries. People now have a much better understanding of DNA‚ genes‚ genetic disorders‚ and health thanks to Crick. Things like DNA tests‚ cloning‚ new medicines‚ and genetic engineering have developed due to past discoveries of the nature and structure of DNA. Modern scientists‚ who focus on DNA‚ can thank Crick for his contributions

Watson and Crick‚ but they are misguided‚ in fact it was discovered almost centuries before by a number of less known scientists. Genes were discovered to be heritable from parents by a humble pea grower by the name of Gregor Mendel in 1866. Since then we have discovered that DNA‚ also known as deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the carrier of genes‚ traits that pass down from generation to generation.The reality is that the credit didn’t go to everyone who deserved it. This was because‚ Watson and Crick only figured

Watson and Crick discovering DNA Watson and Cricks discovery of DNA was important for many reasons because DNA made it possible to use genetic screening to identify which patients have ‘faulty’ genes which will lead to genetic illness such as Alzheimer’s. Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA in 1953. A reason that it was important was because it has provided an explanation for diseases and conditions that the germ theory cannot explain‚ for instance‚ cancer. This was important because

In their 1953 Nature publication‚ Watson and Crick announced their landmark discovery: DNA exists in the form of a right handed‚ three-dimensional double helix. They described their DNA model as two DNA strands connected by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases. Adenine bases are always paired with thymines‚ and cytosines are always paired with guanines. Watson and Crick identified the anti-parallel configuration of DNA strands; each 5’ end of one strand is paired with the 3’ end of its complementary
