Glycosidic bond exists in DNA molecule between __________ A) Sugar and phosphate B) Any two nitrogen bases C) Sugar and nitrogen base D) Purines and pyrimidines

Correct option:(C)Sugar and nitrogen base

Solution:

In DNA and RNA the nitrogen base is attached to the sugar molecule to form the nucleoside.
Sugars deoxyribose and ribose are linked to the nitrogenous base by glycosidic linkage.
It is also known as N-glycosidic bond.
