So the double helix can be easily unzipped by helicase so DNA polymerase can replicate on one strand of DNA.
Because it is
The reason why it is advantageous to have weak hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs and strong covalent bonds between phoshate and deoxyribose groups in a DNA molecule is because the strong covalent bonds running along the "ladder" of the DNA molecule (the phospate and deoxyribose units) keep the molecule together during its existence and more importantly its reproduction. The weak hydrogen bonds in the middle keep the reproduction cycle going on forever because it is able to perform an easy split between the hydrogen bonds throughout the middle of the molecule.

Thymine and adenine! Also guanine and uracil.

with hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases study island :)
Complementary bases in DNA are held together via hydrogen bonds. Between G and C there are three hydrogen bonds and between A and T there are two hydrogen bonds.
Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.

The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
