yes, hydrogen bonds are what connects the double helix together. hydrogen bonds for between the nitrogen bases on each DNA strand.
nitrogen bases are:
- Cytosine (C)
- Thymine (T)
- Guanine (G)
- Adenins (A)

Do inorganic compounds contain Carbon- Hydrogen bonds?
No. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are found in organic compounds.
What is the role of hydrogen bonds in DNA?
The two strands of DNA that make up the double helix are connected by hydrogen bonds between the base pairs. For DNA to replicate, it must continuously zip and unzip the two strands. If those strands were held together by anything stronger than a hydrogen bond (say covalent bonds), it would require too much energy to unzip them and DNA would not be able to replicate. Were they to be held together by anything weaker dipole-dipole or dispersion forces), they probably would not stay together at all.
What role does hydrogen bonds play?
A water molecule is formed when two hydrogen atoms bind covalently to a single oxygen atom.
Is hydrogen found in carbohydrates?
Yes, all carbohydrates are molecules that consist of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What is the importance of hydrogen bonds?
allows water molecules to stick together creating cohesion
What is found in between the bases of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds
What bonds hold together DNA?
hydrogen bonds hold DNA together
What types of bonds are in DNA?
Hydrogen Bonds
What type of bonds make p DNA and where in DNA do you find these bonds?
The bonds are called hydrogen bonds. You can find these bonds in the nucleotides of DNA.
Why are hydrogen bonds so so essential to the structure of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds hold the DNA bases together!
What holdes the two strands of a DNA molecule to each other?
Hydrogen bonds
The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by?
The strands of the DNA double helix are held together by hydrogen bonds
What types of bonds holds the DNA bases together?
Strong hydrogen bonds.
What holds together the 2 strands of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds
The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by what?
Hydrogen Bonds
Why does DNA have to have hydrogen bonds?
The hydrogen bonds between complimentary nitrogen bases hold the two strands of DNA nucleotides together.
What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
