In a Given Strand of DNA, Complementary Bases are Connected

Question

In a given strand of DNA, complementary bases are connected to each other by _____.​
A) ​ionic bonds
B) ​polar covalent bonds
C) ​hydrogen bonds
D) ​peptide bonds
E) ​nonpolar covalent bonds

Accepted Answer

Complementary bases in a DNA strand are connected to each other by hydrogen bonds. This is what allows the DNA to maintain its double helix structure, with adenine pairing with thymine (A-T) through two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine pairing with guanine (C-G) through three hydrogen bonds.
