👉 The eugene fluid, a term coined by biologist James Watson in 1953, refers to a hypothetical fluid proposed as a precursor to the genetic material that carries hereditary information. However, this concept was later discredited and replaced by the more accurate model of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as the carrier of genetic instructions. The term "fluid" was used to suggest a more dynamic and less structured form of genetic material, but DNA's double helix structure, with its precise base pairing and stable configuration, provides a much clearer and more scientifically supported explanation for how genetic information is stored and transmitted across generations.
