The bases in a DNA double helical chain are paired A-T and C-G. The A and T bases are bound by 3 hydrogen bonds per pair, and the C and G bases are bound by three hydrogen bonds per pair.

Why does DNA have to have hydrogen bonds?

Hydrogen bonds help hold the two strands of DNA together in a stable double helix structure. Without hydrogen bonds, the DNA molecule would not be able to maintain its shape and function properly as the genetic material of the cell.


Which nucleotides bonds with adenine?

Nucleotide, singular.Thymine binds with adenine.


What type of chemical bond holds together the backbone of a strand of DNA?

Covalent bonds between a sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group make up the backbone of DNA. These are very strong covalent bonds and are broken only with great expenditure of energy--x-rays, for example.


What holds DNA bases together?

DNA bases are held together by hydrogen bonds. Adenine pairs with thymine through two hydrogen bonds, while guanine pairs with cytosine through three hydrogen bonds. These interactions contribute to the stability of the DNA double helix structure.


How are nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule linked together?

Nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule are linked together by strong chemical bonds called phosphodiester bonds. These bonds connect the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides, forming a long chain that makes up the DNA molecule.


What bond is between nucleic acids?

In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.

In DNA base pairs are held together by what kinds of bonds?

DNA base pairs are held together by Hydrogen Bonds. Adenine and Thymine have 2 bonds that hold them together while Cysteine and Guanine have 3 bonds that hold them together. The hydrogen bonds generally occur between a Nitrogen and a carbonyl oxygen.


What enzyme links DNA nucleotides to a growing daughter strand?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that links DNA nucleotides to a growing daughter strand during DNA replication. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides on the new DNA strand.


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.
