Number of hydrogen bond between A & T and G & C in a DNA double helix are
2,2
2,3
3,2
3,3
As we have learned
DNA as a Double-Helix structure -
The two strands of polynucleotide are anti-parallel, i.e. run in the opposite direction. The backbone is formed by the sugar-phosphate-sugar chain. The nitrogen bases are projected perpendicular to this backbone but inside. A and G of one strand compulsorily base pairs with T and C respectively. There are two hydrogen bonds between A and T and three hydrogen bonds between G and C. Each strand appears like a helical structure.
