The enzyme that attaches nucleotides together by forming phosphodiester is the DNA polymerase. The enzyme that breaks down a phosphodiester bond in an oligonucleotide is the phosphodiesterase.

∙ 13y agoDNA Polymerase III attaches nucleotides to the leading and lagging strand in 5' --> 3' direction.
If you are referring to the lagging strand, then DNA Ligase will attach the Okazaki fragments together and connect the Phosphdiester backbone of the newly synthesized strand.

Are DNA made up of cells?
No. DNA is a component of cells and is made of nucleotides containing deoxyribose, the bases thymine, guanine, cytosine, and adenine, and a phosphate in a phosphodiester bond.
What is the backbone of DNA and RNA?
The backbone of DNA is made up of deoxyribose, a sugar, and are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. RNA is similar but the sugar is called ribose.
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 are repeating subunits of DNA and RNA called?
Nucleotides are repeating subunits that make up DNA.
Which linkage forms the backbone of a nucleic acid?
A chain of sugar and phosphate groups, linked through phosphodiester bonds is the backbone of a nucleic acid.
What enzyme attaches nucleotides together by forming phosphodiester bonds between sugar and phosphate molecules during DNA replication is known as?
D. DNA polymerase :)
Where do you find phosphodiester bonds?
It is between two nucleotides. (Deoxyribose sugar binds to phosphate.)
What joined by adjacent nucleotides?
The nucleotides are joined together by phosphodiester linkages between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next.
Where do nucleotides connect to each other?
Nucleotide molecules connect with each other in phosphate. Nucleotides are composed of three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose and the nitrogen base.
What three basic molecules are nucleotides composed of?
A phosphate group, a sugar and a nitrogenous base
What description best fits class of molecules known as nucleotides?
Nucleotides - A nitrogenous base, a phosphate group, and a pentose sugar.
Are DNA made up of cells?
No. DNA is a component of cells and is made of nucleotides containing deoxyribose, the bases thymine, guanine, cytosine, and adenine, and a phosphate in a phosphodiester bond.

Nucleotide molecules connect with each other in phosphate. Nucleotides are composed of three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose and the nitrogen base.
What compounds are the building blocks of DNA macro-molecules?
Nucleotides are the monomer units that make up a DNA molecule. DNA nucleotides are composed of a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.
