The rungs on a ladder are held between the rails.
rails
Each rung of the DNA double helix is made up of a pair of nitrogenous bases (adenine-thymine or guanine-cytosine). The sides of the ladder are made up of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogenous bases of the rungs together, creating the structure of the DNA double helix.
phosphate
The sides of the ladder are made up of alternating deoxyribose sugar and phosphate molecules. The steps or rungs of the ladder are made up of nitrogenous bases held together by hydrogen bonds.
If the rungs are perpendicular to one side of the ladder, then they must be parallel to the other side of the ladder. This is because if one side is perpendicular to the rungs, the other side, being parallel to the first side, will also be perpendicular to the rungs.

No; the rungs of a ladder and the sides of a ladder intersect. Skew lines do not intersect.
what holds the sides of the DNA ladder together
In a DNA molecule, the sides are made up of alternating sugar and phosphate groups bonded together. These sugar-phosphate backbones provide structural support to the DNA molecule. The rungs of the DNA ladder are made up of nitrogenous bases that form hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs.
The area in the center of a chromosome that holds the two sides together is called the centromere. The centromere is responsible for ensuring that the duplicated chromosomes are divided evenly during cell division. Its function is crucial for the accurate segregation of genetic material.
The rungs are made of 4 different types of bases. The bases letters are A,T,G, and C. Only A and T can go together, and only G and C can go together.
The shape would not be a common shape. A ladder has parallel rungs.
