Explanation:
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: -Crick, a British graduate student, and Watson, an American research fellow, were in the hunt at Cambridge University. At King’s College in London, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins were studying DNA.
