Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rosalind Franklin died in April 1958, before the Nobel Prize was awarded in 1962. Therefore, she was not eligible to receive the prize. The prize was awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins for their work on the structure of DNA, which was based in part on the X-ray diffraction data obtained by Franklin.
