Watson and crick elucidated the structure of DNA by: A. Building models based on known attributes of DNA B. Performing X-ray crystallography on DNA that they isolated C. Labeling thymine with 15N and determining where it was in the molecule D. Experimentally determining that the A:T ratio and the C:G ratio were approximately equal to 1 in DNA E.

Explanation / Answer

The answer is Building models based on known attributes of DNA. (A)

Watson and Crick showed that each strand of the DNA molecule was a template for the other. During cell division the two strands separate and on each strand a new "other half" is built, just like the one before.
