-
Discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance
-
Identified DNA as a distinct molecule
-
Idenifed nuclein as a nucleic acid and providing its present chemical name.
-
He proposed that inherited traits would be inherited via a 'giant herietary model' made up of 2 mirror stands that would replicate in a semi-conservative fashion using each stand as a template.
-
He made the first attempt to solve the structure of DNA and took the first x-ray photographs of biological macromolecules found with living cells.
-
Researching problems relatred to the determination of structure of protiens which resulted in the determination of the structure of insulin.
-
He figured out that the C and G units were the same and the A and T units were the same, which lead to the discovry of the double helix structure
-
She discovered the DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder.
-
Discovered the double helix, tth twisted ladder structure of DNA
-
Provided evidence for double helix structure
-
He crystalised genes he was the first to do it
-
- Dechipered the genetic code
- Found out how DNA was read
- DNA is universal to all life
-
Figured out the ability to reconstruct functional DNA in foreign
-
discovered genetic fingerprinting which is used in police identification.
