video: Rosalind Franklin: DNA’s unsung hero (00:04:09) (Links to an external site.) Reading Response Prompts: Why is understanding the structure of DNA and how it is replicated important? What are some technologies and practical applications that could not have been developed without this understanding? One of the last pieces of the puzzle was understanding how the nucleotide bases paired in DNA.
Watson thought they paired together A-A, C-C, T-T, G-G. What evidence made him reject that hypothesis? Describe your understanding of how the bases actually pair in a DNA molecule.
