What kind of substance facilitates the hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new dna molecule?
son4ous [18]
The hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new DNA molecule is facilitated by enzymes. Hydrogen bonding is the electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pairs forms two hydrogen bonds while the C-G pair forms three. The enzymes called DNA polymerases join the nucleotides by way of phosphodiester bonds.
