The backbone of a DNA molecule is composed of 1:1 molecular phosphoric acid and deoxyribose, together with the base (A, T, C, or G) is called a nucleotide. While the backbone of a RNA molecule is composed of 1:1 molecular phosphoric acid and ribose.

What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
What type of bond holds together the base pairs in a DNA helix?
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 are base pairs in biotechnology?
DNA base pairs.
DNA is described as a zipper or corkscrew unwound it looks like a ladder of what substances are rails and rungs composed?
The rails of DNA are made up of pairs of sugars and phosphates. The middle of the strand of DNA or the rungs are made of nucleotides and bases of codons, such as ATCG base pairs. The bond that holds the DNA together is a hydrogen bond.
How long are the base pairs of Okazaki fragments?
50 base pairs
How the use of bonds holds the double helix together?
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
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 bonds holds DNA strands together?
DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What type of bond holds base pair together?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
What holds two strands of dna molecule to each other?
The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen base pairs.
Do conjugate adid base pairs have similar chemical properties?
yes
What holds matched nucleotides together?
The hydrogen bonding across to the nitrogen's lone pairs in each match is strong enough in a correctly matched pair to hold the DNA molecules together.
The two strands of DNA molecules are held together by?
base pairs
How do nitrogen bases form together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogenous base pairs together.
What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
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.
