Question
14. Hoping to find the fountain of youth a friend of yours proposes to conduct a GWAS study to find variants that affect aging. He proposes to collect DNA from 2000 children and 2000 seniors (>65) and look for haplotypes that associate with children as opposed to the seniors. Break it to your friend very nicely that his GWAS study is unlikely to work b. How would you design a GWAS study to find alleles that affect aging? 15. What 3 pieces of other scientist's data did Watson and Crick use to create their model of DNAExplanation / Answer
Q15) Watson and Crick used stick and ball models to test their ideas on the possible structure of DNA. Watson and Crick also used X-ray diffraction in their discovery. Instead of stick and ball model, other scientists used experimental methods. Those were where Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. To understand the physical structure of the DNA molecule Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin were using using X-ray diffraction.
