What chemical bond in DNA?
Between the two strands of DNA are hydrogen bonds.
What hold the sides of the DNA together?
a hydrogen bond
What nitrogenous bases will tend to hydrogen bond with adenine in DNA?
guanine
Name the molecules or parts of a nucleotide which join by a hydrogen bond to attach to the double strand of DNA?
(Adenine and Thymine) or (Guanine and Cytosine) are the respective molecules which join by hydrogen bond to attach to the double strand of DNA.
What is adenine and guanine held together with?
The Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine and Thymine bases present in DNA are molecules that are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. This bond occurs between an electronegative atom (known as a hydrogen bond acceptor) and a hydrogen atom attached to another electronegative atom (known as a hydrogen bond donor).
What type of bond is found between the two side rails of DNA?
If you are talking about between the bases of DNA, then it is a Hydrogen bond. A hydrogen bond will break easily for replication when the helicase separates the DNA.
What chemical bond in DNA?
Between the two strands of DNA are hydrogen bonds.
What hold the sides of the DNA together?
a hydrogen bond
What type of bonds form between the nitrogenous bases of a DNA molecule?
A hydrogen bond--two between A and T and three between G and C.
What type of bond holds together 2 strands of DNA?
Hydrogen bonding holds together the two strands of a double stranded DNA. Hydrogen bonding exists between the nitrogen base pairs.
Which bond holds DNA bases together?
hydrogen bonds
Are hydrogen bonds in DNA weak or strong?
the bond is strong
Where can you find a hydrogen bond?
Find an electron microscope
Hydrogen bondis a strong fixed force?
A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, like nitrogen , oxygen or fluorine (thus the name "hydrogen bond", which must not be confused with a covalent bond to hydrogen). The hydrogen is covalently bonded to another electronegative atom. The energy of a hydrogen bond (typically 5 to 30 kJ/mole) is comparable to that of weak covalent bonds (155 kJ/mol), and a typical covalent bond is only 20 times stronger than an intermolecular hydrogen bond. These bonds can occur between molecules (intermolecularly), or within different parts of a single molecule (intramolecularly). [2] The hydrogen bond is stronger than a van der Waals interaction , but weaker than covalent , or ionic bonds . This type of bond occurs in both inorganic molecules such as water and organic molecules such as DNA.
What type of chemical bond holds the bases of the two strands of Dna together?
Hydrogen bonds are one of the weakest bonds, and aren't even true bonding of molecules, but rather a magnetic attraction between them. This particular bond is what allows the base pairs of DNA to properly link, as Adenine and thymine bond, and cytosine and guanine bond, but neither of these pairs bonds with elements from the other pair in this way.
What is the difference between phosphodiester bonds and hydrogen bonds?
A phosphodiester bond are strong covalent bonds between a phosphate group and two 5-carbon ring carbohydrates over two ester bonds. A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attractive interaction between polar molecules where hydrogen is bound to a high electronegative atom. A phosphodiester bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond because of the covalent bonds.
What type of bonds hold the individual DNA bases together?
If the DNA nitrogenous bases (A&T, G&C) alone, its the Hydrogen bond. Phosphate-Sugar= phosphoester bond Sugar-Nitrogenous bases= Beta N-glycosidic bond Sugar-phosphate-sugar = phosphodiester bond
