Bio Blue The basic rules of DNA DNA’s base composition the ratio of purines to pyrimidines DNA function and structure Chargaff's Rules Chargaff's findings, along with those of Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction studies of DNA, strongly suggested that base-pairing existed within DNA between A and T, and between G and C. Two years later, he explained these findings to James Watson and Francis Crick, who were then able quickly to elucidate the double-helix structure of DNA. Not much luck... 1905-2002 Chernivtsi- Turning Point in His Life A city in Austria-Hungary In my opinion, the eighth decision would be: Travel ten thousand miles. It means you should travel and see things throughout the world. In this way, you can have more experience, and you can stay calm in all situations. Also, you can get in touch with more people, which helps you consummate your ideas.
