What kind of pattern do you notice with the structure of DNA? For example, what pattern do you see with the rails and rungs of the ladder structure? What type of bond holds the base pairs together?

A hydrogen bond holds the base pairs together. The patterns are within the nitrogen bases.

A hydrogen bond holds the base pairs together. The patterns are within the nitrogen bases, Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Guanine pairs up with Cytosine.
