DNA duplicates chromosomes that are connected at the centromere. They are usually connected through the kinetochore-microtubule which happens during the process of mitosis.

What holds 2 chromatids together?

The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links the sister chromatids together. There are two types of centromeres. Regional centromeres have DNA sequences that contribute to, but do not define function. Point centromeres are smaller and more compact, but the DNA sequences are necessary and sufficient to specify the centromere's identity and function.

What holds matched nucleotides together?

The hydrogen bonding across to the nitrogen's lone pairs in each match is strong enough in a correctly matched pair to hold the DNA molecules together.
