Q: What type of bond connects the sugar and phosphate groups in a DNA strand?
Solution:
Covalent bonds connect the sugar and phosphate groups, forming the backbone of the DNA strand.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of smaller units called nucleotides.
Step 2: Each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
Step 3: The sugar and phosphate groups are connected to form a long chain.
Step 4: The connection between the sugar and phosphate groups is made by a type of bond.
Step 5: This bond is called a covalent bond.
Step 6: Covalent bonds are strong and help hold the DNA structure together.
