... that these factors were inherited in a predictable way, was first discovered by Gregor Mendel, in 1900, his factors were given the name "genes" which carried on chromosomes. In 1952, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA. They realised that the DNA's sequence of bases, and its ability to replicate, were the means by which genes stored information and ... this information could be inherited. Watson and Crick's discovery started the research that began to sequence the genetic code, showed how genes work, and revealed that all living things use the same basic DNA c...

... science; indeed to the world of science this term is hardly new. It is the spirit of competition between Linus Pauling and Watson and Crick in 1950's which led to the rapid discovery of the double helix structure by Watson and crick in 1953.Today because there is global competition in the field of drug discovery, newer and safer drugs are discovered ... ...

... century, when Gregor Mendel determined from his study of plants that particles that can not be seen carry traits that are passed on from generation to generation. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick made the makeup of the genetic code called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, the genetic material that is in all living cells. Deoxyribonucleic acid encodes the order of ... ...

... on how this eternal molecule has influenced on history, medicine and art. Has it been a positive or a negative influence on the well being of mankind and why? In 1953, James D Watson and Francis Crick announced that they have discovered the secret of life, the double helical structure of DNA. Their claim set a revolution that continues much to this day. More fascinating ... ...

... . The information carried on the DNA determines the cells function within the organism. DNA discovery is attributed to the research of three scientists, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and James Dewey Watson in 1951. They were all later accredited with the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1962. Thank's to the these scientists discovery, the new science of genetic engineering aims ... ...

... making mistakes. If it got in the hands of the wrong person, it could cause more harm than good. Co-discoverer of the DNA code and Nobel Laureate Dr.James D.Watson takes this approach: we must go ahead until we experience serious disadvantages. According to him that is how learning works: until a tiger devours you, you don't know the jungle is ... ...
