In 1953, Watson and Crick unlocked the structure of the DNA molecule and set into motion the modern study of genetics. This advance allowed our study of life to go beyond the so-called wet and dirty realm of biology, the complicated laboratory study of proteins, cells, organelles, ions, and lipids. The study of life could now be performed with more abstract methods of analysis. By discovering the basic structure of DNA, we had received our first glance into the information-based realm locked inside the genetic code.Which of the following does the passage discuss as a change that the discovery of DNA brought to the study of life?
A. The study of lipids and proteins became irrelevant.
B. New and more abstract methods of study were possible.
C. Biology could then focus on molecules rather than cells.
D. Modern genetics matured past its Mendelian roots. E. Information-based study of genes became obsolete.
