Rosalind Franklin was born in London, England on July twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and twenty. She was raised in a well-to-do Jewish family and that provided her with an exceptional educational back round in Physics and Chemistry at St. Paul’s Girls’ School and Cambridge University. Franklin provided critical information leading to the discovery of DNA (which she received no credit for because of her death from the battle with cancer in 1958). She discovered the sugar-phosphate …showed first 75 words of 342 total…

If it weren’t for her, heredity would be a foreign word to scientists in today’s day and age. We would not know what a model of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) looked like, its composition, or have any major understanding of it. Rosalind Franklin is probably one of the most under-appreciated/recognized woman scientists of all time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
