The evidence used by Watson and Crick to construct the Deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) model.

Introduction:

The structure of DNA is composed of two antiparallel strands of the polynucleotide chain. The backbone is composed of sugar–phosphate bonds. The nitrogenous bases, which are adenine, thymine, cytosin, end guanin, ere stacked in the center. They are linked to the backbone by the phosphodiester bonds. The number of purines equals the number of pyrimidines. There are three major forms of DNA, namely A-DNA, B-DN, And Z-DNA. The most common form of DNA is B-DNA.
