DNA base pairs are held together by Hydrogen Bonds. Adenine and Thymine have 2 bonds that hold them together while Cysteine and Guanine have 3 bonds that hold them together. The hydrogen bonds generally occur between a Nitrogen and a carbonyl oxygen.

What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
What is broken between base pairs during transcription?
The hydrogen bonds between base pairs are broken
What type of bond holds together the base pairs in a DNA helix?
Hydrogen Bonds are the bonds that hold the complimentary bases together. G to C and A to T. However the bonds that hold the nucleotides together on each side of the double helix are called Phosphodiester bonds or linkages.
Which nitrogen bases pair together to form the rungs of the DNA double helix?
DNA:Guanine-CytosineAdenine-ThymineRNA:Guanine-CytosineAdenine-Uracil
How are the 2 nucleotide strands connected?
In drawings of DNA the lines connecting the two strands represent base pairings. DNA is made up of four base pairs. These four pair up A-T and C-G exclusively.
What type of bond holds base pair together?
Adenine pairs with Thymine Guanine pairs with Cytosine
How do nitrogen bases form together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the nitrogenous base pairs together.
How the use of bonds holds the double helix together?
Generally hydrogen bonds between the different base pairs holds the double helix together.
What hold the base pairs together?
two hydrogen bonds holds adenine and thiamine together and three hydrogen bonds holds guanine and cytocine.
Are AT base pairs or GC base pairs more stable?
A-T base pairs have 2 hydrogen bonds and G-C base pairs have 3 hydrogen bonds. Therefore, A-T base pairs are weaker than G-C base pairs.
What bond DNA forms a double helix?
The base pairs are held together by hydrogen bonds.
What holds DNA bases together?
The bonds of the atom are covalent where as the bonds between the base pairs are hydrogen.
What type of bonds holds DNA strands together?
DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds.
Which ones always fit together to make base pairs?
Guanine bonds to Cytosine Adenine bonds to Thymine. DNA, of course.
What holds DNA base pairs together until it is time to replicate?
The two strands of DNA 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.
What connects base pairs?
Hydrogen Bonds
