Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen bond (H-bond) binds the nitrogen bases between the two strands of DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bond (H-bond) binds the nitrogen bases between the two strands of DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each DNA molecule consists of two nucleotide chains wrapped around each other in a double helix and held together by hydrogen bonds. This hydrogen bonding involves only the nitrogenous bases. Each of the purine bases can hydrogen bond with one and only one of the pyrimidine bases.
Detailed explanation-4: -Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
Detailed explanation-5: -Covalent bonds are found in the DNA backbone (known as phosphodiester bonds).
