hydrogen bonds
The nitrogen bases are held together by weak hydrogen bonds since they are weaker. This is what will allow the split replication to be easy.
to connect each nitrogen base
They form hydrogen bonds!
Hydrogen Bonds
Adenine and Thymine together and cytosine and guanine together.
The nitrogen bases, adenine, uracil, guanine, thymine and cytosine are joined to each other via phosphodiester bonds. Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogen bases in complementary DNA and RNA strands. Polypeptide bonds are formed between an amide and ketone, and these join amino acids in proteins. However, they do not hold nitrogen bases together.
The general structure of them is the same (sugar phosphate backbone, contains nitrogen bases, etc.) but the strands will have a different order of nitrogen bases that are complimentary to each other.

Adenine and Thymine together and cytosine and guanine together.
Adenine and Thymine together and cytosine and guanine together.
A nitrogen molecule contains two nitrogen atoms which are bonded to each other through a covalent triple bond.
DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogen bases of both strands.
:N:::N: triple bond
:N:::N: triple bond
Nitrogen and phosphorous will tend to form covalent bonds with each other.
nitrogen bases are found in the structures of adenine guanine etc.they are bonded with hydrogen bonds to each other.
Describe how each of the DNA nitrogen bases pair together
hydrogen bond
Guanine and Cytosine pair with each other and Adenine and Thymine pair with each other.
The reason why nitrogen gas is inert at room temperature is because the triple bond between the two nitrogen atoms in each nitrogen molecule (N2) is very strong, and therefore it takes a lot of energy to break that bond, and until that bond is broken, the nitrogen cannot react with any other chemical.
