There are four nitrogen bases in DNA, A, T, C, and G. Erwin Chargaff discovered that 'A' pairs with 'T' and 'C' pairs with 'G.' Remember, "When I hike the appalachian trail, I take a cute guy/girl."

James Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel Prize for discovering that DNA has a double helix shape, which is like a twisted ladder (escalera retorcida).

I remember this because I like to go hiking in the woods on the AT (Appalachian Trail). I take my husband with me and he's a CG (cute guy).
