Detailed explanation-1: -In Watson and Crick’s model, the two strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases on opposite strands. Each pair of bases lies flat, forming a “rung” on the ladder of the DNA molecule. Base pairs aren’t made up of just any combination of bases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Francis Crick (1916-2004) was one of Britain’s great scientists. He is best known for his work with James Watson which led to the identification of the structure of DNA in 1953, drawing on the work of Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin and others.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Watson and Crick defined DNA as a double helix with two long helical strands twisted together in their paper titled A Structure of Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid. According to them, each DNA strand has discrete units known as bases. The bases along one DNA strand match the bases along the other DNA strand.
