Base pairs in DNA are attached to each other via hydrogen bonds. The base pairs are attached to the backbone by covalent bonds.

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.
