He washed those band aids with salt and a weak alkaline solution. This caused the membrane and the cell to break down which revealed DNA and RNA around the nucleus. He called this the nuclien. The reason why his work was so important is because it set the groundwork for future DNA discoveries.]]> 2018-04-04 15:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248530038 1028253 https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248547787 Rosalind Franklin had been the first to get photographic evidence of DNA. She used an x-ray to take the picture. James Watson and Francis Crick had seen Franklin's picture and were inspired to do their own research. They both had the same model, but Watson and Crick had gotten the credit for making it. Without her work we wouldn't really know how DNA looks like.]]> 2018-04-04 15:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248547787 1028253 https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248548081 James Watson and Francis Crick created a double helix model of DNA out of paper cutouts and metal scraps, and they wrote a book about it. They got their information from Rosalind Franklins picture that was shown to them by Maurice Wilkins. Their work is important because it suggested that there was a copying mechanism for genetic material.]]> 2018-04-04 15:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248548081 1028253 https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248548506 DNA is made up of several molecules called nucleotides. ]]> 2018-04-04 15:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248548506 1028253 https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248548612 The four nucleotides are adenine(a), guanine(g), Thymine(t), cytosine(c).

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).  ]]> 2018-04-04 15:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1028253/kpzvpzunznlf/wish/248548766
