Answer:

The 3-dimensional double helix structure of DNA, correctly elucidated by James Watson and Francis Crick. ... DNA is a double-stranded helix, with the two strands connected by hydrogen bonds. A bases are always paired with Ts, and Cs are always paired with Gs, which is consistent with and accounts for Chargaff's rule.

Answer:

the Watson-Crick structure of DNA, the: absence of 2'-hydroxyl groups allows bases to lie perpendicular to the helical axis.

In the Watson-Crick model of DNA structure: the distance between two adjacent bases in one strand is about 3.4 Å.
