The double-helix structure of DNA was discovered by___________

  • A.Har Gobind Khorana
  • B.Nirenberg
  • C.Watson and Crick
  • D.Darwin

Answer: C

Correct answer: Watson and Crick

James Watson and Francis Crick published the double-helix model in 1953, building on Rosalind Franklin’s and Maurice Wilkins’s X-ray diffraction data and on Chargaff’s base ratios. Khorana and Nirenberg deciphered the genetic code a decade later; Darwin’s work long predates any knowledge of DNA.
