What is the function of the DNA Base Code?
Controls where proteins are made. This is because the base sequence in the DNA codes for amino acid sequence in the protein. Each amino acid is coded for a equence of three bases.
4 of 9
What is complementary base pairing?
The cross links that hold the two strands together (A-T AND G-C)

The other scientists needed to make sure that it was correct

What molecule carries the code from the DNA to form a protein?

What two pieces of data did Watson and Crick use for their discovery?
Photographs taken using x-rays which showed that DNA had two chain wounds in a helix. And data indictaing that bases occured in pairs.
