A polynucleotide is a nucleic acid molecule consisting of a long chain of nucleotides. Nucleotides in a polynucleotide molecule are held together by a bond between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of a second nucleotide, which is called a phosphodiester bond.
There are four nitrogenous bases found in DNA that are called guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine. They are abbreviated by the first letter in their name, or G, A, T and C.The bases can be divided into two categories: Thymine and cytosine are called pyrimidines, and adenine and guanine are called purines.ou see, cytosine can form three hydrogen bonds with guanine, and adenine can form two hydrogen bonds with thymine. Or, more simply, C bonds with G and A bonds with T. It's called complementary base pairing because each base can only bond with a specific base partner.
