Which description accurately represents how the use of biotechnology and Watson and Crick’s discovery helped change the field of
medicine? (A) Watson and Crick discovered microorganisms. With today’s powerful microscopes, we are able to study microorganisms and how they cause illness or disease. Because of Watson and Crick's discovery and modern technology, many lives have been saved.
(B) Watson and Crick discovered x-rays. Today, we use what they discovered and build x-ray machines, CT Scanners, and PET scanners. These imaging devices transformed the diagnosis of disease. As a result, patients are receiving the treatment they need.
(C) Watson and Crick are credited with discovering the structure of DNA. Through the use of technology, we are able to use this information to diagnose genetic disorders.
(D) Watson and Crick discovered the microscope. With today’s understanding of complex engineering and ability to build medical devices, high-power microscopes scientists research and cure diseases.
