Marriages or any form of sexual relations between blood relatives is incest and is completely prohibited in the United States and most other countries of the world.
There are two reasons for this:
1. Religious: Most major world religions prohibit marriages between blood relatives. In countries where church and other religious institutions had a strong following, incest remains a crime.
2. Biological: Medical Science has proven that off-springs of close relatives e.g. brother-sister, first cousins and even second cousins have a high chance of genetic mutation which can lead to various health issues. This is the main reason why modern societies prohibit incest

Answer: Phosphodiester bond
Explanation:
The backbone of DNA consists of deoxyribose nucleotides linked by phosphodiester bridges.
The 3'-hydroxyl of the adjacent sugar of one deoxyribonucleotide is joined to the 5'-hydroxyl of the adjacent sugar by an internucleotide linkage called a phosphodiester bond.
Thus, phosphodiester bond is the answer
The structure of DNA is double helix which looks like twisted ladder. The sides of the DNA molecule, the rails of the ladder are composed of alternate phosphate and sugar molecules.
