While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double helix structure of DNA in 1953. This structure allowed for DNA to be easily copied during cell division. Watson and Crick initially thought DNA copied itself through a conservative mechanism. Their discovery revolutionized the understanding of genetics. An improved understanding of genetics has led to breakthroughs in medical treatments.27Mark for ReviewABCThe student wants to emphasize the significance of Watson and Crick's discovery.

9. Watson and Crick used scientific reasoning, their knowledge of biochemistry, and the research of otherscientists to make one of the most important scientific claims of their time: DNA is a double helix withstrands running in opposite directions. Between these strands, A pairs with T, and C pairs with G.Complete the table on the following page to explain the evidence that Watson and Crick used to support thisclaim:DNA is a double helix with strands running in opposite directions. Between these strands, A pairs withT, and C pairs with G.Film ActivityStudent HandoutThe Double HelixDNA & RNA Updated February 2020www.BioInteractive.org Page 4 of 4Evidence: (List three pieces of evidence for the claim. Name the scientists who were responsible foreach piece.)Reasoning: (In full sentences, explain how each piece of evidence supports the claim.)10. Even before the structure of DNA was known, studies indicated that the genetic material must have thefollowing properties:• be able to store information• be consistently replicated between generations• be able to allow for changes, and thus evolution, to occurExplain how the structure of DNA gives it these three properties. Write one or two sentences per property

British scientists James Watson and Francis Crickwon the Nobel Prize in part for their 1953 paperannouncing the double helix structure of DNA, but itis misleading to say that Watson and Crickdiscovered the double helix. _______ findings werebased on a famous X-ray image of DNA fibers,“Photo 51,” developed by X-ray crystallographerRosalind Franklin and her graduate studentRaymond Gosling.Which choice completes the text so that it conformsto the conventions of Standard English?A) They’reB) It’sC) TheirD) Its

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: Jonas Salk developed the first effective polio vaccine in 1955. The vaccine was made from dead poliovirus. Salk originally hypothesized that only a vaccine with live virus could be effective. His vaccine drastically reduced the global incidence of polio. The reduction of polio has greatly improved global public health.24Mark for ReviewABCThe student wants to emphasize the significance of Salk’s discovery.
