The “unraveling” of the nature and function of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) was perhaps, the single most important discovery of the 20th century to Biology. At the conclusion of Watson and Crick’s 1952 paper in Nature, they say,“ It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.”

A- What is that copying mechanism that it “immediately suggests”,

B- What is the significance of that copying mechanism, and

C- How does the copying mechanism speak to the process of science?
