The two strands stick together due to the attraction between complementary bases. In DNA, Adenine binds to Thymine and Cytosine binds to Guanine.

Are nucleotides joined together by covalent bonding of bases?

No, nucleotides are joined together by the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar molecule of another nucleotide. The bases participate in hydrogen bonding interactions, not covalent bonding, within the DNA double helix structure.

What holds the two halves of a DNA double helix together?

The two halves of a DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. This base pairing allows for the specificity and stability of the DNA molecule.

What is the double coiled shape of DNA?

A molecule of DNA consists of two strands of various chemical compounds that other chemicals carrying genetic information join together, much like ladder rungs hold ladder rails apart. The two strands joined with thousands of rungs look like a long rope ladder that has been twisted into the shape of a spiral, called a double helix.
