Which bond makes the permanent DNA join formed by ligase strong and stable?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Phosphodiester bond

DNA ligase completes the sugar-phosphate backbone by catalysing formation of a phosphodiester bond between a 3′-hydroxyl group and a 5′-phosphate group on adjacent DNA ends. This is a covalent bond, so it creates a stable, permanent connection rather than merely holding the strands together through temporary base pairing or weak molecular forces. Option A is therefore correct. Hydrogen bonds between complementary bases help hold the two DNA strands together, but they are not the new backbone bond made by ligase. The other listed ‘bonds’ are not recognised chemical bonds involved in DNA ligation and are biologically irrelevant.
