Question
In 1953 (37) along with Maurice Wilkins proposed the structure of DNA and won the Nobel Prize in 1962. They used the research of Linus Pauling who investigated protein structures using ball-stick method, and (38) x-ray diffraction data showing the basic helical structure with uniform diameter. We know now that there are (39) base pairs per turn, bases face the interior held together by (40) bonds. The backbone made up of the pentose (41) and phosphate, held together by (42) bond. The strands have directionality/polarity of (43) in an (44) formation. The (45) rule states that there are equal amounts of A/T G/C as both strands are (46) to each other.
possible choices- DNA / RNA / Watson & Crick / Hershey & Chase / Griffith / Avery, McLeod, McCarty / Chargoff / Rosalind Franklin / Calvin & Benson / S. pneumoniae / E. coli / protein / T2 bacteriaphage / 10 / deoxyribose / phosphodiester / complimentary / hydrogen / antiparallel / 3'-5' / 5'-3'
