rosalind franklin had a significant contribution to determining the structure of dna. however, some say that she does not get the credit that she deserves, while others argue that it is part of the collaboration. research rosalind’s background, research experiments, and contributions regarding the race for determining the structure of dna. you can do your own keyword search or use the links provided in the course.
answer the following questions, referring to your research.
1. watson and crick knew that the triple helix model of dna that linus pauling had proposed was incorrect. what evidence did they have for such a conclusion?
2. the work of rosalind franklin provided a key piece of data for watson and crick’s model of dna. summarize that evidence and how it was pivotal to the correct model being built
