Answer
Working together and being part of the research community is important to help scientists keep track of various advancements in their field. Therefore, it is crucial for scientists to work together and develop others' findings for science to develop quickly in comparison to a scientist working in complete isolation.
It would have been impossible for Watson and Crick to come up with an explanation of the DNA double-helix by working alone.
Work Step by Step
Working together in a scientific team prevents two scientists from working on the same subjects of interest, and therefore avoids both professional and personal conflicts. Furthermore, scientists working in collaboration will enjoy the benefits of being able to share research ideas, research equipment, and apparatus.
Levene's explanation of how nucleotides were bonded by phosphodiester bonds and Chargaff's experimental data helped Watson and Crick develop the
complementary base pairing model. Finally, the X ray crystallography images of DNA obtained by Franklin gave a clear understanding that the structure of DNA is a double-helix.
