the secret of heredity itself (Ardell 1). Watson and Crick were left to find out the missing piece. Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin were partners in finding the structure of DNA. Wilkins and Franklin weren’t close and kept their work separate. Wilkins examined Franklin’s DNA structure from one of her x-ray diffraction photos. Without Franklin knowing‚ Wilkins showed Watson and Crick the photos. Then‚ Watson and Crick used her ideas in DNA‚ and became a big success (“The

Perutz also shared important X-ray crystallography imagery with Watson and Crick that he had received from Maurice Wilkins and Franklin. Whether he was supposed to give this information to Watson and Crick without Franklin’s knowledge is unknown‚ nor is it entirely known how important her work was to the discovery of the structure. * Sir Lawrence Bragg – the head of the Cavendish

Rosalind Franklin was born the second of five children on July 25‚ 1920 in Notting Hill‚ London‚ England. Her parents were Muriel and Ellis Franklin. She was born into a Jewish family. Her family lived in wealthy and educated West London society. Her mother had aspirations to go to college‚ however was unable to as her mother did not allow it. Muriel not able to go to college made her want her children to have a good education. Her father‚ Ellis‚ was a opinionated and strict individual. He aspired

Character Analysis of Sarah Penn In Mary E. Wilkins’ “The Revolt of ‘Mother‚’” the character of Sarah Penn serves a special function. She is both representative of the women of her time and also an anomaly. Like other women of the late 1800s‚ Sarah is a very hard worker in her home. She lives as a servant to the dictates of her husband‚ and despite her painful disagreement with his actions. She continues to serve him as any other wife would serve her husband. She cooked his favorite meals‚ sewed

The book starts of with the introduction of the main characters‚ which includes Francis Crick‚ Max Perutz‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ Rosalind Franklin‚ Sir Lawrence Bragg and Linus Pauling. Each of these characters has played a significant role in inspiring Watson’s discovery. Sir Lawrence Bragg was the director of the Cavendish lab‚ where Watson and Crick did their research

Francis Crick got together at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge‚ England to experiment and record research on DNA. Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins (not together) also joined the race at King’s College in London. All four scientists were studying and experimenting on DNA. Rosalind Franklin took X-rays of DNA. Without her consent‚ Maurice Wilkins took the unpublished X-ray of the DNA and showed it to James Watson and Francis Crick. The picture was called Photo 51. Without this essential

organisms have different amounts of DNA‚ the amount of adenine always equals the amount of thymine. The same goes for the pair guanine and cytosine. Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin were peers at King’s College. Franklin had discovered that DNA could crystallize into two different forms‚ an A form and a B form. The technique with which Wilkins and Franklin set out to do is called X-ray crystallography. With this technique a crystal is exposed to x-rays in order to produce a diffraction pattern.
