The nucleotides that make up DNA have a natural angle that they attach together at. So they will stack in a helix unless that angle is exactly 90 degrees, which would be a remarkable coincidence.
how come we can’t gene edit?
Most traits are affected by many genes governed by complex gene regulatory networks; and likewise, most genes affect many traits at once. That makes it difficult or impossible to change a desired trait by making a few point edits to the genome (the exceptions are traits that arose recently due to novel mutations that haven’t yet found their way into deeper GRNs).

Thanks for the reply but can I rephrase? Sometimes its just the first thing that comes to my head…thank welbutrin
