The type of bond that holds bases on nucleic acids together are
|
|
nitrogen bonds
|
|
|
peptide bonds
|
|
|
hydrogen bonds
|
|
|
nucleic bonds
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components).
Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphodiester Bonds A phosphodiester bond is a covalent bond that is mainly found in nucleic acids(DNA and RNA) in which a phosphate group joins adjacent carbons through ester linkages.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both interactions are of equal importance in nucleic acids. The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by the hydrogen bonding between the related bases. Adenine can form two hydrogen bonds with thymine and cytosine can form three hydrogen bonds with guanine (Fig. 1).
