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.

How are the nitrogen bases held together in the center of the DNA molecule?
The nitrogen bases bond A-T and C-G via hydrogen bonds. The bases are held together in the string by a backbone of alternating phosphate and sugar molecules.
How do nitrogen bases bond with each other?
hydrogen bonds
What type of bonds holds the nitrogenous bases together in the DNA molecule?
your teacher will probably accept hydrogen bonds, however it is more of an attraction not a physical bond
Composed of long chains of amino acids?
Polypeptide bonds....polypeptide bonds equal proteins ;)
