In DNA, the linkages between different nitrogenous bases are

  1. phosphate linkage
  2. H-bonding
  3. glycosidic linkage
  4. peptide linkage

Answer

(2) H-bonding

Solution

As per NCERT, the two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between specific pairs of bases: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine.

Phosphodiester linkages join nucleotides within a strand, and the base is joined to the sugar by a glycosidic (N-glycosidic) linkage.

∴ Linkages between nitrogenous bases are H-bonds.
