  1. The Discovery of DNABy Gabby Reyna James Watson Francis Crick

  2. Early life of Watson James Watson was a born on April 6, 1928. He was bright child, he really loved to ask questions. But wasn’t content on the answers for they didn’t have a deeper meaning or proof. James was smart, he actually went to college at the age of 15. He was under the Gifted youngster program. When he was little he loved bird watching and wanted to study ornithology. But when he graduated he changed his mind to study physiology for he was fascinated by how genes and chromosomes worked.

  3. Early Life of Crick Francis Crick was born on June 8, 1916. When he was a child he loved to read, but he was more interested on the books about science. He really didn’t need the current lessons he was learning for he already knew, so he actually taught himself and did his own research. He was studying really well, until he had to fight in the world war II. That interrupted his studies but when he came back from war he continued and graduated.

  4. How they started Both Watson and Crick met at Cambridge where Crick was already doing his studies. They ended up working together, for they both wondered about Genes. Soon enough they had discovered DNA’s structure. They won a noble peace prize on 1962 for medicine or physiology.

  5. DNA’s structure Adenine- Organic compound of the purine family, often called a base, consisting of two rings, each containing both nitrogen and carbon atoms, and an amino group. In DNA its complementary base is thymine. Thymine- Organic compound of the pyrimidine family, often called a base, consisting of a ring containing both nitrogen and carbon atoms. It occurs in combined form in many important biological molecules, particularly DNA. Where its complementary base is adenine. Guanine- Organic compound of the purine family, and called a base, consisting of two rings, each containing both nitrogen and carbon atoms, and an amino group. It occurs in combined form in many important biological molecules, particularly nucleic acids. In DNA its complementary base is cytosine. Cytosine- Organic compound of the pyrimidine family, also called a base, consisting of a single ring, containing both nitrogen and carbon atoms, and an amino group. It occurs in combined form in nucleic acids and several coenzymes. In DNA its complementary base is guanine.  DNA Backbone- The backbone of DNA is based on a repeated pattern of a sugar group and a phosphate group. The full name of DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, gives you the name of the sugar present - deoxyribose. Deoxyribose is a modified form of another sugar called ribose. I'm going to give you the structure of that first, because you will need it later anyway. Ribose is the sugar in the backbone of RNA, ribonucleic acid.

  6. Death  James Died on July 28, 2004 R.I.P

  7. YAY!!! James Watson though is still alive.

  8. The end<3
