What holds together the 2 strands of DNA?
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 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.
What type of bond holds bases together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the DNA bases together. There are three bonds between Guanine and Cytosine, and two bonds between Adenine and Thymine.
How do they bond within each other across strands?
I assume you mean the hydrogen bonding that holds bases of DNA together.
What type of bonds holds the bases together in pairs?
The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
The type of bonds that holds the nitrogen bases together in DNA?
Hydrogen bon
What type of bond holds the base pair together?
The nitrogen bases are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What holds a single DNA strand together?
the nucleus
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
What force holds nitrogen crystals together?
The dispersion force is responsible for holding nitrogen crystals together
What type of bond holds the two atoms of nitrogen together in the nitrogen gas?
Covalent bond
What type of molecule holds the nitrogen has?
The nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen held together by "covalent" bonds.
What are the two sides of the DNA and the helix held by?
Covalent bonding holds the phosphate and deoxyribose together, while the adjacent nitrogen bases are held by hydrogen bond.
Which type of chemical bonding holds the two strands of DNA together in the double helix?
When two strands of DNA that have exactly complementary base pairing (Adenine bonds with only Thymine, and Cytosine with Guanine) the base forms a hydrogen bond to the base on the opposite strand, only if the base pairing is complementary. So, in short the double helix form is held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases present on the strand. This means as the two strands are split apart, a new complimentary strand is formed against each, resulting in two identical double helices where there was just one before. It is by this means that the instructions for the code of life are copied and passed on.
What bond holds purine bases and pyrimidine bases together?
ATGACGT
Which bond holds DNA bases together?
