Phophodiester bonds are the one that connect the nucleotides next to each other on the same strand. Weak hydrogen bonds join the two complementary nucleotides and thus the two strands of the DNA together.

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 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.


The two polynucleotide chains in DNA molecule are attracted to each other by what?

Between nucleotides, there is a phosphodiester bond between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of another nucleotide. Nucleotides (such as Adenine and Thymine) are held together on two strands of DNA through hydrogen bonding. This doesn't keep nucleotides together in a strand, but helps in the structure of two corresponding strands of DNA.
