1 answer

The correct answer choice is:

A sugar-phosphate backbone with nitrogen bases in the middle forming a double helix.

This choice accurately reflects the structure of DNA, where the sugar-phosphate backbone is on the outside and the nitrogenous bases pair in the center, forming the double helix structure.
