What would have happened if the Watson-Crick model of DNA had been inconsistent with Chargaff's Rule?

Question

I suppose if I use that answer ill get an F

Answer 1

I suppose it wouldn't have been used.

Answer 2

Watson and Crick developed their model of DNA to account for Chargaff's Rules. Their model HAD to be consistent with everything that was already known about DNA. So, if their model HAD to satisfy Chargaff's rules. If it didn't, then they would have had to keep working to find a model that DID satisfy Chargaff's.

Now, there's always the possibility that Chargaff was wrong, but others had confirmed his findings by the time W & C were working, so that's why they had to incorporate Chargaff's rules into their model.
