Rosalind Franklin's research contribution was essential in _____.
A) establishing the single-stranded nature of DNA
B) establishing the principle of base pairing
C) establishing most of the principal structural features of DNA
D) sequencing DNA molecules
E) determining the bonding energy of DNA molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction images of DNA, most notably Photo 51, were critical in establishing the double helix structure of DNA, revealing its principal structural features. Her work did not directly establish base pairing or the single-stranded nature of DNA, nor was she involved in sequencing DNA molecules or determining the bonding energy of DNA molecules.
