Question

X-ray diffraction data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins helped Watson and Crick solve the structure of DNA. Which apsect of the structure of DNA did the data help them solve

Answer 1

It confirmed the double stranded structure of the DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Watson and Crick created the DNA model that showed the DNA is a double stranded and helical molecule.

Rosalind Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA. Especially her x-ray numbered photo 51.

It was very instrumental to Watson and Crick in deducing the double helix model of the DNA. The photo showed a clear diffraction pattern of the crystallized DNA.
