Silicosis is a fibronodular lung disease caused by inhalation of dust containing crystalline silica (alpha-quartz or silicon dioxide), which is distributed widely, or its polymorphs (tridymite or cristobalite), which are distributed less widely.ilicosis is a fibronodular lung disease caused by inhalation of dust containing crystalline silica (alpha-quartz or silicon dioxide), which is distributed widely, or its polymorphs (tridymite or cristobalite), which are distributed less widely.
A phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds.Phosphodiester bonds are central to all life on Earth, as they make up the backbone of the strands of nucleic acid. phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds.

Ok. So phosphodiester bonds link nucleotides of the same strand. Hydrogen bond holds nucleotides that are complementary to each other (forming the double helix). The question is poorly worded. Hydrogen bonds the bases of the nucleotides, but phosphodiester bonds like phosphate group of one nucleotide to the carbon ring of the next nucleotide. Strag, Jun 11, 2011 #12
