    “A potential key to the secret of life was impossible to push out of my mind” (Watson 35). Without Crick and Watson’s development on the anatomy of DNA, the foundation for modern day knowledge on genetics and inheritance would have never existed. Francis Crick and James Watson were two scientists who discovered and deciphered the structure and different parts of DNA. Subsequently, if they never conceived the whole idea of a human genome, the entire maintenance of life’s code would remain a mystery

    double helix belonged to Watson and Crick, for they had debunked the mystery in 1953. Their finding denoted a milestone in the history of science. It also set the path for future biology studies. This study like all others, began with a solitary idea, a single experiment, which sparked future generations to follow the same path. This follows the fact that the scientific method is not linear, it is circular. Utilizing this, the two researchers, Watson and Crick, began with a purpose, collected background

    In 1962, the Nobel Prize was awarded to Francis Crick and James Watson for formulating the structure of the complex molecule known as DNA. These discoveries were a direct result of the accumulation of many scientists’ earlier analyses and findings of the DNA. Before Watson and Crick had developed the double-helical structure of DNA, indication of this genetic material had been revealed around the 1850’s. During the century following the first evidence of DNA, subsequent researchers had been eagerly

    Personally, I agree with the definition of politics and the dangers that Crick views in regard to nationalism, technology, and democracy. There are always limits to achieving anything. Given that politics can adequately be able to maintain its firmness it can sustain its youthfulness and strong nature (Crick, 1993). However, the modern environment changes and varies highly and individuals have so much to accomplish based on their numerous ideas and therefore this pressures the anticipation of the
