There are two types of bonds in DNA: phosphodiester bonds and hydrogen bonds. The phosphodiester bonds are the strong covalent bonds that create the phosphate-deoxyribose backbone. The hydrogen bonds links the "rungs" of the ladder, between nitrogen bases.

∙ 11y agoThe sugar-phosphate "backbone" of DNA is held together by covalent bonds.
The strands of DNA are joined by hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) between the nitrogenous bases on either side. Adenine is joined to Thymine by 2 H-bonds. Cytosine is joined to Guanine by 3 H-bonds. This means that C and G are bound slightly more strongly than A and T (which is why the GC content of a certain piece of DNA can be important).
Having different bonds for the different parts is important for the function of DNA. Covalent bonds are much stronger than H-bonds - which means that the two strands of DNA are easily separated from each other, but are not as easily broken apart. This is important for creating copies of the DNA.

∙ 12y agoThe role of hydrogen bonds is holding together the two strands of nucleic acids, but I'm still trying to figure the covalent bonds out...

∙ 11y agoCovalent bonds are found in the backbone of DNA, joining the sugar and phosphate molecules together. The type of covalent bond found in DNA is known as a phosphodiester bond.

What is found in between the bases of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds
What nucleotide pair bonds would be found in a DNA molecule?
Guanine-Cytosine
What nucleotide pais bonds would be found in the DNA molecule?
DNA base pair are Cytosine with Guanine and Thymine with Adenine.
Where are the nitrogen bases found on DNA and how are they bonded?
nitrogen bases are found in the structures of adenine guanine etc.they are bonded with hydrogen bonds to each other.
What keeps DNA together?
DNA is kept together by hydrogen bonds. The bonds connect the bases together and gives DNA its double helix shape.
What are the bonds found in DNA molecules?
The molecules of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA are joined together by covalent bonds (known as phosphodiester bonds).
What is found in between the bases of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds
Adenine is found in Rna but not in DNA?
No, adenine bonds with thymine in Dna, while adenine bonds with uracil in Rna [the pairs AT & AU].
Where is the potential energy in a DNA molecule found?
The potential energy stored in the bonds of the phosphates provides the energy for DNA synthesis.
This scientist found that A bonds with T and C bonds with G in DNA?
James Watson and Francis Crick
What nucleotide pair bonds are found in DNA molecule?
guanine-cytosine
What type of bonds make p DNA and where in DNA do you find these bonds?
The bonds are called hydrogen bonds. You can find these bonds in the nucleotides of DNA.
Is thymine found in Dna?
Yes it is, along with the other nucleotide bases adenine, cytosine and guanine. Thymine bonds with Adenine in Dna. Adenine bonds with Uracil in Rna.
Where is the DNA found?
The strong bonds between the DNA chains are the hydrogen bonds (H-bonds). The H-bonds exist between the base pairs. 2 H-bonds exist between Adenine and Thymine and only 3 H-bonds exist between Guanine and Cytosine. This means that A-T bonds are stronger than C-G, this difference arises purely because of slight chemical differences in the bases.Within the chains the strong bonds are covalent. These covalent bonds are found between the sugar group of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another.
What nucleotide pair bonds would be found in a DNA molecule?
Guanine-Cytosine
What nucleotide pais bonds would be found in the DNA molecule?
DNA base pair are Cytosine with Guanine and Thymine with Adenine.
