A set of threads called the warp form the base of the cloth.

VOA: special.2009.11.04

If I'm talking about two DNA strands and they differ only in one or two base pairs they won't be exact complements and they won't form this double helix.

假设有两条DNA单链,有一两个碱基不能配对,它们就不能完全互补,也无法形成双螺旋形结构

That's because you have to satisfy this base pair matching in order to have hydrogen bonding in each of the struts of the ladder in order to form a stable structure.

NA双链要满足互补配对原则,以使碱基对之间,形成氢键,从而形成稳定的双链结构
