Okay, I've got the structure done, I know how the sugar-phosphate back-bone works, but I need to specify the base pairs. I know that Thymine goes with Adenine and Guanine goes with Cytosine but is there a specific order they go from the bottom to the top, along the sugar-phosphate back bone? Or is it unique in every double helix and that's what makes the different genes, hence different characteristics in an organism?

You can put these in any order that you wish because all the genes have a different order. It's a model. Fix it however you want.

I think you need to look up the "human genome project" and see what they have to say...i've been out of school way too long, but this is a good place to start.
I seem to think that they are all unique...but then these folks are "mapping" DNA, so...you better double check

Yes.. it is unique in every one. Such as GCUA or ACGG you know?
