What type of bonds holds the DNA bases together and are they strong or weak bonds?
Hydrogen bonds. They are weak individually, but enough of them have some strength ( water, for instance ) through the are not strong enough to impede the splitting of the DNA molecule when a replicative process, for instance, needs preforming.
What nucleotides can be held together by weak hydrogen bonds?
DNA contains four nucleotide bases, which are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. The pairs of nucleotides that can be held together by weak hydrogen bonds are purines and pyrimidines.
What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
Are the the acids and proteins found in DNA weak or strong?
Weak Acids
Why is carbon important for forming these complicated molecules?
It forms very strong bonds.
Does salt have weak bonds?
No, it has strong bonds.
Are peptide bonds strong or weak?
Inbetween, rather strong, not very weak
Is Covalent bond is a strong bond or weak bond?
Covalent bond is a strong chemical bond. Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds.
Does carbon form weak or strong bonds?
it forms strong bonds with itself and with hydrogen
If a compound has an odor does it have a weak or strong bonds?
Assuming you mean intermolecular bonds, a strong odor means the bonds are weak, since molecules of the compound readily vaporize.
Are hydrogen bonds in DNA weak or strong?
the bond is strong
Are ionic bonds weak?
No, relatively strong
Why are ionic bonds weak?
No, relatively strong
Do metallic bonds have weak forces?
Metallic bonds are not so strong as covalent and ionic bonds.
What are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules?
Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.
What are the comparative strengths of ionic - and molecular bonds?
Ionic bonds are strong, molecular bonds are relatively weak.
What type of bonds holds the DNA bases together and are they strong or weak bonds?
Hydrogen bonds. They are weak individually, but enough of them have some strength ( water, for instance ) through the are not strong enough to impede the splitting of the DNA molecule when a replicative process, for instance, needs preforming.
