if you mean the double helix in DNA.....

In 1953, based on X-ray diffraction images[123] taken by Rosalind Franklin and the information that the bases were paired, James D. Watson and Francis Crick suggested[123] what is now accepted as the first accurate model of DNA structure in the journal Nature.[5] Experimental evidence for Watson and Crick's model were published in a series of five articles in the same issue of Nature.[124] Of these, Franklin and Raymond Gosling's paper was the first publication of X-ray diffraction data that supported the Watson and Crick model,[125][126] this issue also contained an article on DNA structure by Maurice Wilkins and his colleagues.[127] In 1962, after Franklin's death, Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[128] However, debate continues on who should receive credit for the discovery, as the Watson and Crick article in Nature was based on Franklin's data without either acknowledgment or her knowledge.[129]

Uracil is not incorporated into the structure of the DNA helix. Uracil is found in RNA instead of thymine, which is the corresponding nucleotide in DNA.


What is a Helix shape?

A helix is a three-dimensional curved shape that resembles a corkscrew or spiral. It is formed by a curved line wrapping around a central axis. Helix shapes are often found in nature, such as in DNA molecules or certain types of shells.


In a double helix the guanine is equal to uracil or cytosine?

In a double helix, guanine pairs with cytosine through three hydrogen bonds, while uracil is typically found in RNA and pairs with adenine. So, guanine is not equal to uracil or cytosine in a double helix.
