Using The Search To Find The Structure Of DNA As An Example, Describe The Main Observations Which Led Up To The Classic Description And The Process By Which The Double Helix Structure Was Arrived At. Did This Constitute A Revolution In Science? The search for patterns of individual units of heredity, genes, started as early as the late 1800s when Gregor Mendel discovered a predictable transfer of characteristics from parents to offspring (Moore, 1963). From then until 1953 when Francis Crick and James Watson proposed the structure of DNA, which carries genetic information, it was an open field, many scientists were working on theories of its structure. It was only by postulating theories and disproving them that eventually a theory of the structure and description of DNA became established. I will try to account for the main observations which led to the description of the double helix and the process by...
