DNA Quiz

DNA quiz pages would not be complete without remembering how X-ray imagery transformed science. In 1952, Photo 51, a pivotal X-ray diffraction image of DNA, was captured by Raymond Gosling, working under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin at King’s College London. Franklin’s expert interpretation of this image provided crucial evidence that DNA had a helical structure. Although James Watson and Francis Crick later built the three-dimensional model that made headlines, Franklin’s insights and research played a central role in the discovery. This iconic image was key to solving one of biology’s greatest mysteries. In this DNA quiz, you’ll find trivia, structure, and facts, the basics made welcoming and clear. It’s an engaging way to revisit the double helix without the intensity of a science exam!
