Which Nobel-Prize winning scientist who figured out the process of transposition in corn chromosomes?
Barbara McClintock, an American scientist, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of genetic transposition in maize (corn) chromosomes. She observed this phenomenon in the 1940s and 1950s, demonstrating that genes could change position within a chromosome, leading to variations in genetic expression.
Which scientist added an extra strand to the structure of DNA and won two Nobel Prizes?
Linus Pauling is the scientist who proposed a triple helix structure for DNA with an extra strand. However, this model was later proven incorrect. Linus Pauling won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962.
Which Australian won a Nobel Prize for immune defence resarch?
Peter Doherty, an Australian scientist, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1996 for his research on the immune system and how the body fights off viruses.
Why did Rosalind Franklin not share the Nobel prize with Watson and Crick and Wilkins for determining the structure of DNA?
When the Nobel Prize was awarded, she had already died of cancer, and the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously.
Which pair of scientist won the Nobel prize for their work on DNA molecule and why?
The pair of scientists who won the Nobel Prize for their work on the DNA molecule are James Watson and Francis Crick. They received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, which laid the foundation for understanding how genetic information is stored and transmitted in living organisms.
