Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A type of bond that gives 3-dimensional shapes to molecules like DNA
A
hydrogen
B
ionic
C
covalent
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen bonds in a protein molecule. Large numbers of hydrogen bonds form between adjacent regions of the folded polypeptide chain and help stabilize its three-dimensional shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tertiary Structure Cysteine side chains form disulfide linkages in the presence of oxygen, the only covalent bond forming during protein folding. All of these interactions, weak and strong, determine the final three-dimensional shape of the protein.
