Correct answer: C. DNA model
- A. Locus
- B. DNA polymerases
- C. DNA model
- D. Meselson and Stahl
Explanation
The DNA model refers to the structure of DNA, which was elucidated by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. This model, known as the double helix, describes DNA as a twisted ladder-like structure composed of two strands that are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine).
