The salient features of the Double-helix structure of DNA include all the following except:
| 1. | It is made of two polynucleotide chains, where the backbone is constituted by sugar-phosphate, and the bases project inside. |
| 2. | The two chains have anti-parallel polarity. |
| 3. | The bases in two strands are paired through hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) forming base pairs (bp). |
| 4. | The two chains are coiled in a left-handed fashion. |
