Answer: A, B, D

Explanation: Watson and Crick developed their ideas about genetic replication in a second article in Nature, published on May 30, 1953. The two had shown that in DNA, form is function: the double-stranded molecule could both produce exact copies of itself and carry genetic instructions. However, it was not completely accepted that genes are made of DNA.
