In DNA, the linkages between different nitrogenous bases are
- phosphate linkage
- H-bonding
- glycosidic linkage
- 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.
