The sugar-phosphate "backbone" of DNA is held together by covalent bonds.
The strands of DNA are joined by hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) between the nitrogenous bases on either side. Adenine is joined to Thymine by 2 H-bonds. Cytosine is joined to Guanine by 3 H-bonds. This means that C and G are bound slightly more strongly than A and T (which is why the GC content of a certain piece of DNA can be important).
Having different bonds for the different parts is important for the function of DNA. Covalent bonds are much stronger than H-bonds - which means that the two strands of DNA are easily separated from each other, but are not as easily broken apart. This is important for creating copies of the DNA.

Hydrogen bonds
What type of chemical bond is found between the strands of a DNA molecule?
Hydrogen bonds are the type of chemical bonds found between the strands of a DNA molecule. These bonds form between complementary nitrogenous bases, such as adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine.
What nucleotide pair bonds would be found in a DNA molecule?
Guanine-Cytosine
What nucleotide pais bonds would be found in the DNA molecule?
DNA base pair are Cytosine with Guanine and Thymine with Adenine.
How many types of hydrogen bond are found in a molecule of DNA?
There are two types of hydrogen bonds found in a molecule of DNA: adenine-thymine and cytosine-guanine base pairs. These hydrogen bonds are responsible for the complementary pairing of the nitrogenous bases in DNA strands.
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.
What are the bonds found in DNA molecules?
The bonds found in DNA molecules are hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases (adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine) and phosphodiester bonds between the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides in the backbone of the DNA strand.
What is found in between the bases of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds
Adenine is found in Rna but not in DNA?
No, adenine bonds with thymine in Dna, while adenine bonds with uracil in Rna [the pairs AT & AU].
Where is the DNA found?
The strong bonds between the DNA chains are the hydrogen bonds (H-bonds). The H-bonds exist between the base pairs. 2 H-bonds exist between Adenine and Thymine and only 3 H-bonds exist between Guanine and Cytosine. This means that A-T bonds are stronger than C-G, this difference arises purely because of slight chemical differences in the bases.Within the chains the strong bonds are covalent. These covalent bonds are found between the sugar group of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another.
What nucleotide pair bonds are found in DNA molecule?
guanine-cytosine
Is thymine found in Dna?
Yes it is, along with the other nucleotide bases adenine, cytosine and guanine. Thymine bonds with Adenine in Dna. Adenine bonds with Uracil in Rna.

What type of bond is found between the phosphate groups?
In DNA, the phosphate groups are connected by phosphodiester bonds, which are covalent bonds formed between a phosphate group and two adjacent nucleotides in the DNA backbone.
