Francis Crick's Role in DNA Discovery — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptFrancis Harry Compton Crick was born on 8 June 1916, at Northampton, England. He studied physics at University College, London and obtained a B.Sc. in 1937. He completed Ph.D. in 1954 on a thesis entitled "X-ray Diffraction: Polypeptides and Proteins".
Watson and Crick’s work: (1) Mendel’s results (1865) predated DNA model (1953). (2) Crick’s Ph.D. (1954) followed DNA model. (3) Their 1953 model proposed complementary double-helix. (4) Crick became F.R.S. in 1959. (5) Their work directly followed 1902 theory without intervening advances. Which statements are correct?
