A few key experiments helped to discover the structure of the DNA molecule. Who was responsible for the research suggesting that DNA had a helical structure with a relatively uniform diameter and was probably too wide to be a single-stranded helix?

Answer:

Dr. James Watson and Francis Crick

Step-by-step explanation:

It was Dr. Rosalinda Franklin who first take a picture of DNA in its helical structure. Using this picture of Dr Franklin, Dr. James Watson and Francis Crick recognized from the image and suggested that the DNA has a double helix structure. They assemble a model of the DNA structure and wrote a paper describing the DNA as a double helix.
