Answer:
Nucleotides are joined together by covalent bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the third carbon atom of the pentose sugar in the next nucleotide.
Explanation:
Along one side of a DNA molecule, the nucleotides are connected to each other by covalent bonds between the phosphate group pf one nucleotide and the third carbon atom of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose sugar) in the next nucleotide.
Two nucleotides are attached via a phosphodiester bond to form dinucleotide. Another nucleotides are added in same manner to form polynucleotide chain.
In this polynucleotide chain, the nucleotides are connected to each other by covalent bonds between phosphate group of one nucleotide and third carbon atom of deoxyribose sugar and forms a phosphate backbone of DNA.
