In DNA, there are four types of nucleotides. These are Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine and Adenine. Guanine and Adenine are purines whereas Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidines. Adenine will always bond with thymine in DNA. Therefore, guanine and cytosine bond together. These comnplementary base pairing allows the DNA to be replicated and is also used in protein synthesis.

∙ 15y agoPyrimidines (C, U, T) bond with Purines (A, G) via Hydrogen bondings. A and T are held together by two H-bonds. G and C are bonded together by three H-bonds.

What type of bond connects nucleotides?
Phospho-di-ester linkages.
What is the type of bond that links two nucleotides together in a strand of DNA?
Gangnam Style
What type of bond hooks the nucleotides on each of a DNA molecule?
If you are talking about the base pairing between the two strands of double stranded DNA, then it is H-bond.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
What are subunits making up nucleic acid?
Nucleotides are smaller subunits that make up nucleic acids.
Which of the nucleotides bond with cytosine?
Guanine
What nucleotides bond together in DNA?
At, GC
What type of bond is between nucleotides?
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
What is it called when nucleotides form a base pairs through a weak bond called a?
the bond is called a hydrogen bond:)
Why do dideoxy nucleotides cause the DNA strand to stop elongating?
It doesn't contain an OHO bond so no other nucleotides can attach to it.
What type of bond connects nucleotides?
Phospho-di-ester linkages.
Why are the guanine and cytosine nucleotides different shapes?
So they could bond together
In DNA molecules nucleotides bond together according to the nitrogenous bases Which of the following correctly describes how nitrogenous bases bond together?
Purines bond to pyrimidines
What is the type of bond that links two nucleotides together in a strand of DNA?
Gangnam Style
Why is it important for nucleotides of DNA to bond covalently instead of ionically?
so they cant disolve
What type of bond hooks the nucleotides on each of a DNA molecule?
If you are talking about the base pairing between the two strands of double stranded DNA, then it is H-bond.
What happens in the bonding of two nucleotides?
Phophodiester bonds are the one that connect the nucleotides next to each other on the same strand. Weak hydrogen bonds join the two complementary nucleotides and thus the two strands of the DNA together.
