Question

How was rosalind franklin cheated by Watsan and Crick?
( should be explained in simple words so as to understand )

Answer 1

Franklin's colleague Maurice Wilkings stole photo 51 (which was the most detailed cristalography of the dna double helix at the time made by Rossalind Franklin) and went behind her back showing it to Watson and Crick who then managed to deduct the structure of DNA using the photo.At the time Franklin didn't recieve any credit for the discovery of the DNA double helix structure. She died at a young age of ovarian cancer in 1958 before Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick and James Watson won the Nobel prize in 1962.
