What are the mRNA's C and G held together by?

mRNA is single stranded - meaning the bases are not found in pairs (AT, GC) like they are in a double-stranded structure. Therefore the bases themselves will not be directly linked, but the entire nucleotide (sugar, phosphate and base) will be linked to the previous and next nucleotide in the chain by a phosphodiester bond. In DNA (or dsRNA) the C and G are held together by three hydrogen bonds.


How are nucleic acids held together?

Nucleic acids are held together by phosphodiester bonds between the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides in the backbone of the molecule. Additionally, hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases in complementary strands help stabilize the double-stranded structure of DNA or RNA.


How many nucleotide bases are there in 24 codons?

There are three nucleotide Bases for each codon, so the Answer is 72 bases.


Nucleotide chains of DNA are held together by?

Nucleotide chains of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (adenine with thymine, and cytosine with guanine). Additionally, the backbone of the DNA molecule is formed by sugar-phosphate bonds.


Does DNA have thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases"?

Yes, DNA does have thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases.


Are nucleotides joined together by covalent bonding of bases?

No, nucleotides are joined together by the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar molecule of another nucleotide. The bases participate in hydrogen bonding interactions, not covalent bonding, within the DNA double helix structure.


What are the bondings is nitrogenous bases?

nitrogenous bases are held together with hydrogen bonds. adenine and thymine (or uracil) are held by 2 and guanine and cytosine are held by 3.


Does DNA contain thymine as one of its nucleotide bases?

Yes, DNA contains thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases.


What bond is between nucleic acids?

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


How are complementary of DNA held together?

Complementary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds connecting complementary bases.


What type of bond holds a nucleotide together and connects each nucleotide in a DNA strand?

The backbone of the nucleotides are composed of repeating ribose (in RNA) or deoxyribose (in DNA) and phosphates held together by phosphodiester bonds between the 5's and 3's of the ribose/deoxyribose.


How are the bases in the base pair held together?

hydrogen bonds
