Its Hydrogen Bonds that hold the two strands of the DNA double helix together.
Hydrogen bonds/bases at/cg hold the two DNA strands together.
The hydrogen bond holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together.
Hydrogen Bonds are the bonds that hold the complimentary bases together. G to C and A to T. However the bonds that hold the nucleotides together on each side of the double helix are called Phosphodiester bonds or linkages.
First off - it is important to understand that a nucleotide (the monomer of DNA) is composed of 3 things: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Next - understand that the "backbone" of DNA is composed of the sugars and phosphates. That leaves you with nitrogenous bases. Hydrogen bonds form between the nitrogenous bases off opposite strands in the double helix. THIS is what holds the double helix together.
Hydrogen bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen accross the covalent bonds involving a free pair of electrons
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand. This means as the two strands are split apart, a new complimentary strand is formed against each, resulting in two identical double helices where there was just one before. It is by this means that the instructions for the code of life are copied and passed on.
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
Hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases hold the double helix together.
Hydrogen bonds
The chemical bond that holds the double helix together in DNA are the hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are the weakest making them perfect for DNA replication.
the bases are paired by hydrogen bounds
the adductor
Adenine binds to Thymine Guanine binds to Cytosine Hydrogen bonding holds the bases together.
The DNA molecule forms a double helix. The linear DNA chromosomes of eukaryotes form a highly supercoiled double helix.
Hydrogen Bonds are the bonds that hold the complimentary bases together. G to C and A to T. However the bonds that hold the nucleotides together on each side of the double helix are called Phosphodiester bonds or linkages.
Screws have a helix design, that drills into the wood, and also holds materials together.
Hydrogen bonding holds together the two strands of a double stranded DNA. Hydrogen bonding exists between the nitrogen base pairs.
