Question

Wilkins familiarized the results of high resolution X-ray photographs of crystallized DNA obtained by Franklin to Watson and Crick. What values were shown by him?

Answer 1

Franklin's high resolution photographs of crystallised fibre of DNA and their elaborations of Wilkins helped Watson and Crick to correctly arrange the nucleotides and decide that DNA is a double stranded with two chains running in antiparallel fashion. Such a model had an inbuilt property of semiconservative replication.
The values shown by Wilkin were of high calibre. He not only explained the discovery before its publication but also helped Watson and Crick in one of the biggest development in biology that has direct impact on human welfare and welfare of the whole biological world.
