what type of bond is formed between adenine and thymine and between cytosine and guanine?
150679
In the DNA helix, the bases: adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine are each linked with their complementary base by hydrogen bonding. Adenine pairs with thymine with 2 hydrogen bonds. Guanine pairs with cytosine with 3 hydrogen bonds.

Nucleotides are covalently linked to one another via the formation of a bond (called a phosphodiester bond) between a free hydroxyl group attached to the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of a second nucleotide.

Adenine always bonds with thymine, and cytosine always bonds with guanine. The bonding causes the two strands to spiral around each other in a shape called a double helix. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a second nucleic acid found in cells. RNA is a single-stranded polymer of nucleotides.

Adenine is one of the two purine nucleobases (the other being guanine) used in forming nucleotides of the nucleic acids. In DNA, adenine binds to thymine via two hydrogen bonds to assist in stabilizing the nucleic acid structures. In RNA, which is used for protein synthesis, adenine binds to uracil.

Nitrogenous bases present in the DNA can be grouped into two categories: purines (Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)), and pyrimidine (Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T)). These nitrogenous bases are attached to C1' of deoxyribose through a glycosidic bond. Deoxyribose attached to a nitrogenous base is called a nucleoside.

The DNA and RNA Structures Nucleotides simply refer to nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar together with the phosphate backbone. Both DNA and RNA have four nitrogenous bases each—three of which they share (Cytosine, Adenine, and Guanine) and one that differs between the two (RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine).

The button below the image highlights the hydrogen bonds between guanine and cytosine in a DNA double helix. Adenine and thymine similarly pair via hydrogen bond donors and acceptors; however an AT base pair has only two hydrogen bonds between the bases.

Are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine isomers of one another? ... No, Adenine and Guanine are purines, bicyclic molecules larger than Cytosine and Thymine, which are monocyclic pyrimidines.

Chargaff's rule, also known as the complementary base pairing rule, states that DNA base pairs are always adenine with thymine (A-T) and cytosine with guanine (C-G). A purine always pairs with a pyrimidine and vice versa. However, A doesn't pair with C, despite that being a purine and a pyrimidine.

The nitrogenous bases form hydrogen bonds between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the "twisted ladder" or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides. Adenine is always paired with thymine, and guanine is always paired with cytosine. These are known as base pairs.

['a nitrogenous base: cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A) or thymine (T)', 'a five-carbon sugar molecule (deoxyribose in the case of DNA)', 'a phosphate molecule.']

Pyrimidine dimers are molecular lesions formed from thymine or cytosine bases in DNA via photochemical reactions. Ultraviolet light (UV) induces the formation of covalent linkages between consecutive bases along the nucleotide chain in the vicinity of their carbon–carbon double bonds.
1123464
The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are guanine, adenine, cytosine and thymine; in RNA, uracil is used in place of thymine.

The genetic alphabet, which is conserved throughout nature, consists of four basic building blocks of DNA: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which form the A–T and G–C base pairs that make up the rungs of the DNA ladder.

Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule that is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring (also known as a ribofuranose) via a β-N1-glycosidic bond. Cytidine is a component of RNA. If cytosine is attached to a deoxyribose ring, it is known as a deoxycytidine.

Two purines will not fit between the strands while two pyrimidines will be too far to bond. Therefore a purine has to make a hydrogen bond with another pyrimidine. ... Hence adenine makes hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine makes hydrogen bonds with cytosine.

These nitrogenous bases are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G) which are found in both RNA and DNA and then Thymine (T) which is only found in DNA and Uracil (U), which takes the place of Thymine in RNA.
