During this time, he developed his interest in genetics and began working with <strong><em>Drosophila melanogaster<\/em><\/strong> (a type of fruit fly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sturtevant later published his research on the first genetic map.

This is the idea that genetically superior people should be encouraged to reproduce more often than those who are not.

He went to the University of Chicago for his undergraduate degree in genetics before moving to Indiana to complete his doctorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watson is best known for his work with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins on the structure of DNA. In 1953, he proposed that DNA is a double helix that consists of molecules wrapped around each other like a ladder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the first time anyone had suggested such a structure for DNA. This study contributed to our understanding of how genes are passed on from generation to generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For their contributions to understanding nucleic acids, Watson shared a Nobel Prize with Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discovery of the DNA structure was an important part of the scientific revolution.
