DNA contains four nucleotide bases, which are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. The pairs of nucleotides that can be held together by weak hydrogen bonds are purines and pyrimidines.

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.
In DNA base pairs are held together by what kinds of bonds?
DNA base pairs are held together by Hydrogen Bonds. Adenine and Thymine have 2 bonds that hold them together while Cysteine and Guanine have 3 bonds that hold them together. The hydrogen bonds generally occur between a Nitrogen and a carbonyl oxygen.
The two polynucleotide chains in DNA molecule are attracted to each other by what?
Between nucleotides, there is a phosphodiester bond between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of another nucleotide. Nucleotides (such as Adenine and Thymine) are held together on two strands of DNA through hydrogen bonding. This doesn't keep nucleotides together in a strand, but helps in the structure of two corresponding strands of DNA.
The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by what?
Hydrogen Bonds
. How are complementary strands of DNA held together?
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.
How are nucleic acids held together?
Through covalent and hydrogen bonds. The covalent bonds hold the pentose sugar-phosphate backbone together and are alternatively called phosphodiester bonds. The hydrogen bonds are between the nitrogen bases and hold the "rungs" of the ladder together.
What bond DNA forms a double helix?
The base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What type of bond holds a nucleotide together and connects each nucleotide in a DNA strand?
The backbone of the nucleotides are composed of repeating ribose (in RNA) or deoxyribose (in DNA) and phosphates held together by phosphodiester bonds between the 5's and 3's of the ribose/deoxyribose.
What bond is between nucleic acids?
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.

How are nucleotides joined together within a single DNA strand?
I just did this paper in Biology, the answer is Hydrogen bonds! :)

What two things would happen if hydrogen bonds held the backbones together but covalent bonds held the templates together?
Hydrogen bonds are weak, but they are able to hold the backbones together. If covalent bonds held the templates together instead, the bonds would be even weaker and would likely break.
