Hydrogen bonds

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen bond (H-bond) binds the nitrogen bases between the two strands of DNA. There are two H-bonds between A and T; three H-bonds between G and C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is composed of two complementary strands oriented antiparallel to each other with the phosphodiester backbones on the exterior of the molecule. The nitrogenous bases of each strand face each other and complementary bases hydrogen bond to each other, stabilizing the double helix.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chemical bonds (hydrogen bonds) between the bases that are across from one another hold the two strands of the double helix together.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hydrogen bonding in DNA The complementary base pairs of guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine connect to one another using hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides are what keeps the two strands of a DNA helix together.
