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.

∙ 15y agoThe two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between specific base pairs. An Adenine-Thymine base pair is held together by two hydrogen bonds, a Guanine-Cytosine base pair is held together by three hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are a weak electrostatic interaction; however because of the large number of base pairs in a DNA molecule the overall interaction is strong.

What type of bond holds nucleotide together?
hydrogen bonds
What type of bonding holds the two poly nucleotide strands of a DNA molecule together?
Hydrogen bonding between the complementary, nitrogenous bases (cytosine, guanine, thymine, adenine) of the two polynucleotide chains.
What kind of bond holds the nitrogen bases together in the DNA strand?
Nitrogenous bases.That would be hydrogen bonds.
What type of bonding occurs between DNA nucleotides?
Covalent bonding occurs between the nucelotides between the phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic base of a single DNA strand and hydrogen bonding holds the complementary bases of two DNA strands together.
What holds of the combinations of atoms together in molecules?
atomic forcesType your answer here...Electrostatic attractive force holds combination of atoms together in molecules.
What is a nucleotide substitution error?
Before you know what a nucleotide substitution error is, you have to know what a nucleotide is. A nucleotide holds the DNA strand together and helps make copies. When a Strand is ready to be copied, Let's say one nucleotide reads for G(Guanine), then another nucleotide would be added, which would mean C (Cytosine) would be added. A substitution error would mean that, that instead of Cytosine being added, Thymine, Adenine, Uracil, or Guanine could be added, resulting in a mutation.

hydrogen bonds
What holds a single DNA strand together?
the nucleus
How are the strands held together in the double helix?
On a single strand of DNA the nucleotides are held together by covalent bonding between the phosphate group bonded to the 5' end of the deoxyribose, which bonds to another deoxyribose molecule attached to the next nucleotide on the strand at the 3' end of the sugar. This is what holds together a single strand. 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.
