What binds strands of DNA together?

Phosphodiester bonds bind the strands together. A phosphodiester bond is a phosphorus atom involved in two ester bonds.


What type of bond holds together 2 strands of DNA?

Hydrogen bonds hold together the two strands of DNA. These bonds form between specific base pairs: adenine (A) with thymine (T), and guanine (G) with cytosine (C), creating the double helix structure of DNA.


What bond is responsible for holding the two strands of double stranded DNA together?

Hydrogen bonds are responsible for holding the two strands of DNA together.


What kind of bond holds the two strands of the double helix together?

Hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases hold the double helix together.


What kind of bond holds the two strands of a DNA molecule together?

hydrogen bonds. The other bonds are covalent bonds.


What type of bonds holds DNA strands together?

DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds.


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 can you compare DNA to a zipper?

DNA can be compared to a zipper because just like how the teeth of a zipper interlock to hold two sides together, DNA's complementary base pairs (adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine) bond together to form a double helix structure. This bond between the base pairs enables DNA to store and transmit genetic information.


Complex carbohydrates what type of chemical bond connects two monomers together?

The carbohydrates units are linked together through an oxygen bridge between two cyclic structues commonly known as Glycosidic linkage (of course it is a covalent bond).


What pairing holds together two strands on DNA?

Hydrogen bonds hold together two strands of DNA. These bonds form between complementary nitrogenous bases on each strand, such as adenine (A) pairing with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairing with guanine (G).


What best describes the structure of a DNA molecule?

A DNA molecule is a double helix structure made up of two strands that are composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). The bases on the two strands bond together in a complementary way (A pairs with T, and C pairs with G).
