What holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together?
Its Hydrogen Bonds that hold the two strands of the DNA double helix together.
What hold the side of DNA ladder together?
what holds the sides of the DNA ladder together
What type of bonds holds the nitrogenous bases together in the DNA molecule?
your teacher will probably accept hydrogen bonds, however it is more of an attraction not a physical bond
. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
What holds the two helixes in a DNA molecule together?
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.
Which bond holds DNA bases together?
hydrogen bonds
The type of bonds that holds the nitrogen bases together in DNA?
Hydrogen bon
What is the name given to the bond between the bases which holds the DNA double helix together?
the bases are paired by hydrogen bounds
What holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together?
Its Hydrogen Bonds that hold the two strands of the DNA double helix together.
What types of bonds holds the DNA bases together?
Strong hydrogen bonds.
What hold the side of DNA ladder together?
what holds the sides of the DNA ladder together
What type of bonds holds the nitrogenous bases together in the DNA molecule?
your teacher will probably accept hydrogen bonds, however it is more of an attraction not a physical bond
Which bases are complementary to one another how are they held together in the double helix of DNA?
Adenine binds to Thymine Guanine binds to Cytosine Hydrogen bonding holds the bases together.
What type of bond holds bases together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the DNA bases together. There are three bonds between Guanine and Cytosine, and two bonds between Adenine and Thymine.
Describe how each of the DNA nitrogen bases together in DNA?
Describe how each of the DNA nitrogen bases pair together
How do they bond within each other across strands?
I assume you mean the hydrogen bonding that holds bases of DNA together.
What bone holds complimentary bases of DNA together?
The bone that holds complimentary bases of DNA together is not actually a bone, but rather a chemical bond. It is called a hydrogen bond, and it forms between the nucleotides that make up the DNA molecule. The hydrogen bond specifically forms between the nitrogenous bases, such as adenine (A) and thymine (T), or cytosine (C) and guanine (G), allowing the DNA strands to stay connected.
