We did not know much about DNA until Rosalin Franklin took

an x-ray picture inside the cell nucleus:

Scientists James Watson and Francis Crick made the double-helix model of DNA that explained how DNA could work.

The number of chromosomes that each species has is different.Humans have 46 chromosomes. Flies have 8 chromosomes.
