Question:
The bonds found in a polynucleotide chain between the individual nucleotides and nitrogen bases are
The bonds found in a polynucleotide chain between the individual nucleotides and nitrogen bases are
Show Hint
Phosphodiester bonds link nucleotides; hydrogen bonds link base pairs in DNA.
Updated On: May 12, 2025
- Peptide bond, Hydrogen bond
- Hydrogen bond, Peptide bond
- Phosphodiester bond, Hydrogen bonds
- Glycosidic bond, Phosphodiester bond
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In DNA, nucleotides are linked by phosphodiester bonds to form the backbone of the strand, while complementary nitrogenous bases are joined via hydrogen bonds across the strands. Peptide bonds are found in proteins, not nucleic acids.
