The Structure of DNA
Somewhere in someone’s brain a curiosity is born that starts a wanting to find an answer. Not everybody gets these feelings to act upon their feelings of wanting to find out an answer, but for some people it does.
An Austrian monk, Greg Mendel was a for-father of finding “basic patterns of inheritance.” He started doing his scientific experiments around 1854 in his gardens researching “the transmission of hereditary traits in plant hybrids” (Bio, a Biography of Gregor Mendel).
Almost 100 years later, interests of finding an answer of how our DNA was structured, was born among some other scientists. Most of the time answers does not just land in our lap until after many hours of researching and studying; it was no difference in this situation.
It even took several different scientists who had this curiosity and wanting to find answers, including many research-hours before an answer was discovered. These scientists worked in different labs, with different techniques and technology.
In the scientific world many different scientists can contribute and be part in solving the puzzle. Scientists live in a world where they share their results with each other in conferences, press-releases, etc. so that other scientists can test their results, and can maybe even give answers for other scientific researches. …show more content…
Both team asked pretty much the same question: How was the DNA structured? So When new papers were released each group studied them deeply and learned what the other group had learned. In this way important pieces were put together and they could answer questions that was not able to be answered before. Yes, of course each team was eager to be the first one that solved the whole puzzle, but if non of the groups had shared or released their information like scientists do, it would have taken much longer or who knows if the answer would even have been
