What type of linkage holds together the monomers in DNA ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The monomers of DNA are polydeoxyribonucleotides. These are held together by H-bonds. There are three H-bonds between guanine and cytosine `(G-=C)` and two between adenine and thymine `(A-=T)`.

Nucleic acids are the biopolymers in which the repeating structural monomeric units is a nucleotide. The nucleotides structural monomeric unit is a nucleotide. The nucleotides consist of three components, a pentose sugar (D-(0)-" ribose or 2 - deoxy "-D-(-)-"ribose, heterocyclic base") , (purines i.e., adenine and guanine and pyrididines i.e., thymine, cytosine and uracil) and phosphoric acid. Sugar - base constitutes nucleosides. the two types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. Nucleic acids play significant role in replication and protein synthesis.
