Hydrogen Bonds are the bonds that hold the complimentary bases together. G to C and A to T. However the bonds that hold the nucleotides together on each side of the double helix are called Phosphodiester bonds or linkages.

What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
How do bases pair in DNA?
Both strands of DNA made of nucleotides come together and start making a helix which makes the bases pair up while the DNA strands are being twisted around like the helix. In the canonical Watson-Crick DNA base pairing, adenine (A) forms a base pair with thymine (T) and guanine (G) forms a base pair with cytosine (C).
What are thymines?
Thymine is a nitrogen base that is wound up inside the double helix of DNA. It pairs with Adenine.
What base is always opposite guanine?
In a regular watson-crick double helix base pairing DNA, guanine always pairs opposite cytosine. However this rule holds good only for double helical DNA, as, it is seen in tRNA that guanine (in the anticodon) pairs with cytosine as well as uracil of the corresponding codon in mRNA.
How the use of bonds holds the double helix together?
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
What type of bond holds base pair together?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
How are DNA molecules bound together to form a double helix?
The DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between complimentary base pairs.
What hold the base pairs together?
two hydrogen bonds holds adenine and thiamine together and three hydrogen bonds holds guanine and cytocine.
What holds DNA base pairs together until it is time to replicate?
The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What type of bond holds together 2 strands of DNA?
Hydrogen bonding holds together the two strands of a double stranded DNA. Hydrogen bonding exists between the nitrogen base pairs.
What bond DNA forms a double helix?
The base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
What is the name of the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule?
nitrogenous bases linked together
How many base pairs are there per DNA twist?
human genome ca 3,2*109 with 40.000 Genesto compare with cabbage : 6*108 with 100.000 Genes...soberingTaking into account that one base pair holds 1 bit of information, the entire human genome holds just over 390 MB (megabytes) of information.
