Question

What type of linkage is present in nucleic acids or two nucleotides?

Answer 1

Once the nucleotides form nucleic acids, DNA and RNA formation occurs. DNA is double-stranded whereas RNA is single stranded. The two strands of the DNA are held together by weakhydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogen bases. The hydrogen bondsbetween the nitrogen bases are very specific

Answer 2

Phosphodiester bonds

Phosphodiester bonds are central to all life on Earth as they make up the backbone of the strands of nucleic acid. In DNA and RNA, the phosphodiester bond is the linkage between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon atom of another, deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.
