c. discovered DNA.
d. proved that chromosomes were made partly of DNA.
e. discovered the structure of DNA.
Adv.
James Watson was an American and Francis Crick was an Englishman. In 1951, they met at Cambridge University in England. They are mutually interested in studying the structure of DNA. James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA in 1953. By this, the components of DNA and their arrangement were known.
