The photo claimed their thoughts about the doble helix, so they published it.

1962

Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material. " The reason that Rosalind Franklind didn't won the prize was due to she was alredy dead.

Hersey and Chase were making other amazing experiment about the phages. The bacteria phages are viruses that infect he bacterias. They are made up of DNA (or sometimes ARN) and the rest is from protein. Their experiment comfirmed that it was the DNA, and not the protein, was the genetic material.
