Step 1
1 of 2James Watson and Francis Crick discovered that the shape of DNA resembles a double helix, or a twisted ladder, consisting of two strands enfold around each other. Each strand is made up of a chain of nucleotides and is held together by hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the sides of the ladder.
