Mollisols primarily occur in the middle latitudes and are extensive in prairie regions such as the Great Plains of the US. Globally, they occupy ~7.0% of the ice-free land area. In the US, they are the most extensive soil order, accounting for ~21.5% of the land area. Mollisols are among some of the most important and productive agricultural soils in the world and are extensively used for this purpose. Mollisols are divided into 8 suborders: Albolls, Aquolls, Rendolls, Gelolls, Cryolls, Xerolls, Ustolls, and Udolls. Click here for more information about these suborders.
Simple Answer: James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with the first correct double-helix model of DNA structure published in 1953 in the journal Nature.
First isolated by Friedrich Miescher in 1869 and with its molecular structure first identified by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, DNA is used by researchers as a molecular tool to explore physical laws and theories, such as the ergodic theorem and the theory of elasticity.
