Answer:

Erwin Chargaff was one of those men, making two discoveries that led James Watson and Francis Crick to the double helix structure of DNA. At first, Chargaff noticed that DNA – whether taken from a plant or animal – contained equal amounts of adenine and thymine and equal amounts of cytosine and guanine
