True or False: Purine is connected to pyrimidine using oxygen bonds.​

False

Explanation:

In DNA double helix molecule, there are four types of nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Purines (i.e., adenine, guanine) and pyrimidines (i.e., cytosine and thymine) hold DNA strands together via hydrogen bonds. In base pairing, guanine always pairs with cytosine through 3 hydrogen bonds, while adenine always pairs with thymine by 2 hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are a type of dipole–dipole interaction where a hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom (e.g., Nitrogen or Oxygen).
