  1. half the base-pairs will be A-G pairs and half will be C-T pairs.

  2. each base will form at least two hydrogen bonds with a base in the opposite strand.

  3. the two strands will form an antiparallel left-handed helix with 12 base pairs per turn.

  4. there will be covalent phosphodiester bonds between the two strands.
