 what does "The plane of one base pair stacks over the other in a double helix. This provides stability to the helix along with hydrogen bonding" mean?

 

 

    •  

 

It means that the base pairs i.e. adenine & thymine and guanine & cytosine are arranged in a row in the double helix structure i.e. polynuleotide chain which provides stability to the chain with hydrogen bonding.

It means that the stability of the double helix model is by 2 factors - 1. The arrangement of the plane of base pairs one over the another and 2. H - Bonding between a purine and a pyrimidine
