The chemical bond connecting one nucleotide with the next one along the nucleic acid chain is a phosphodiester bond. This bond forms between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar group of the next nucleotide, creating a backbone of alternating sugar and phosphate groups in the nucleic acid chain.
nucleotide
The two components that make up the nucleotide backbone are the sugar molecule, which is either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA, and the phosphate group. Together, they form the repeating structure that provides the backbone for the nucleic acid strand.
