In the Watson-Crick DNA model, the sugar-phosphate backbone is on the outside and nitrogenous bases are inside, with Guanine-Cytosine having 3 bonds and Adenine-Thymine having 2 bonds.
In the Watson-Crick model of DNA, the sugar-phosphate backbone is on the outside and the nitrogenous bases are inside, with guanine pairing cytosine via three hydrogen bonds and adenine pairing thymine via two.
