The structure of DNA was described by:

Answer: Watson and Crick (1953).

  • A Mendel and Morgan
  • B Watson and Crick (1953)
  • C Avery, MacLeod, McCarty
  • D Hershey and Chase

Correct answer: B. Watson and Crick (1953)

Explanation: Watson and Crick proposed the double helix structure of DNA in 1953, using X-ray data from Rosalind Franklin.

Monohybrid Cross: Tt x TtParent 1 (Tt)Parent 2 (Tt)gametes: T, t (from each parent)TtTtTTTtTtttRatio 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1 tt (3 tall : 1 short if T = tall is dominant)

Punnett square for a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous (Tt) parents, showing the 3:1 phenotypic ratio predicted by Mendel's Law of Segregation.
