The method that holds the two strands of the DNA helix together is known as base pairing. The two strands are connected by chemical bonds between the bases: adenine bonds with thymine, and cytosine bonds with guanine. According to ,Watson and Crick's model, the two strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases on opposite strands. Each pair of bases lies flat, forming a "rung" on the ladder of the DNA molecule. Base pairs aren't made up of just any combination of bases.
