__________________ bonds between the nitrogenous bases hold the two single strands together in the double in the double helix.
Sri K.
The bond between to nitrogenous base pairs in DNA or RNA is very important in the functionality of these nucleic acids. What type of bond is this and why is it important? a. Ionic: creates stability within the strand while being able to disconnect when needed when present with an adequate amount of energy b. Covalent: creates a very strong durable bond between strands that can only be broken with the correct enzyme c. Hydrogen: a weak bond that is easily broken when the cell needs certain genetic code or during cell replication, while creating an overall strong bond between the two strands when combined with a sequences of several like bonds d. None of the answers
