The type of bond connecting two nucleotides is
Options
- Apeptide bond
- Bhydrogen bond
- Cphosphodiester bond
- Dglycosidic bond
Correct answer
C. phosphodiester bond
Step-by-step solution
DNA is the chain of a polynucleotide, which are joined by the phosphodiester bonds. The two nucleotides are linked by the phosphodiester bond. Phosphodiester bonds are strong covalent bonds between phosphate groups connecting the 5 ' - carbon of one deoxyribose to the 3 ' - carbon of the next deoxyribose of the adjacent nucleotide.
