Hydrogen bonds hold the bases together in a DNA molecule. These bonds form between specific pairs of nucleotide bases: adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C).

A weak hydrogen bond. This allows the DNA strands to separate easily during transcription.

Between bases on the same chain of the double helix are covalent bonds.

Between paired bases on opposite chains of the double helix are hydrogen bonds.
