He studied and researched DNA before it was truly found. He started by researching and studying Leukocytes ( a cell with uncommon protein ). 

His work was important to our understanding of DNA because he compared DNA to Leukocytes and found differences between the two. His experiment and studies revealed that there was a combination of Protein, DNA & RNA near the nucleus. Friedrich named it nuclien and after that he was considered as the father of DNA. It was now easier to recognize a part of a cell from the whole cell. ]]> 2018-04-03 18:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248248569 1028396 https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248605291 Rosalind Franklin's discovery was mostly ignored and not acknowledged, she went to King's college to study the structure of DNA but at the time, sexism was a big thing and they never took her seriously.  In 1952, she got the x-ray image of DNA that took 100 hours to get it and a whole year to examine it. Wilkins took her image and showed it to her colleagues, they examined it and came up with the real structure. They later published their DNA structure model in 1953 and in 1962 they won the Nobel Prize. 
Her work was important because it inspired her colleagues and instead of helping her out, they stole it and claimed it theirs. Rosalind was a " brave woman that fought sexism in science " as claimed in one video. She would have won two Nobel Prizes if she wouldn't have died in 1958 and continued her studies.]]> 2018-04-04 17:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248605291 1028396 https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248613592 They were busy coming up with a model for DNA meanwhile their colleague Rosalind Franklin used her X Ray to get a view of DNA. With the knowledge they already knew, they worked together to find the true DNA structure by making 3D models of them. 
Their work is important because their colleagues information on DNA helped them figure out the structure of DNA and now they are considered as one of the top scientists.]]> 2018-04-04 17:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248613592 1028396 https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248980563 DNA is made up of nucleotides, there are bases of nitrogen and a sugar group that makes up a pattern and makes up the genetic code of an organism. The four bases are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. DNA is made up of Sugar Phosphate that becomes its backbone. ]]> 2018-04-05 17:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248980563 1028396 https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248982731 The nucleotides of DNA are made up of a group that consist of Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine, Guanine, and Phosphate. They consist a sugar called Deoxyribose and together they become a base named a nucleoside. The 3 parts of nucleotides are a Nitrogenous base, Pentose sugar, and a Phosphate group. ]]> 2018-04-05 17:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248982731 1028396 https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248985283 The nucleotides of DNA pair by connecting them so they look the same. Adenine pairs with Thymine, Cytosine pairs with Guanine and they are maintained together by hydrogen bonds.]]> 2018-04-05 17:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1028396/s1dc3z9uj2aj/wish/248985283
