Which of the following statements regarding the structure of DNA is false? The bases stick out like spokes on the outside of the DNA molecule. In a DNA molecule, adenine bonds to thymine and guanine to cytosine. The DNA molecule has a uniform diameter. Watson and Crick received a Nobel Prize for their description of the structure of DNA. The DNA molecule is in the form of a double helix.
