How do the two sides of a DNA molecule differ?

• the As and Cs are on one side and the Ts and Gs are on the other
• one side uses the sugar ribose and the other uses deoxyribose
• the sugar phosphate strand on one side is in the middle of the molecule
• the sugar phosphate strand points in the opposite direction.
