On one end, you have the phosphate backbone which is covalent connected via amide linkages
On the other end, amine groups are hydrogen bonded to carbonyl groups.
Covalent bonds are the strongest, hydrogen bonds are one of the weakest, thus allowing for occasional unlatching for replication, repair, etc.

Are you referring to genes?
gene–noun the basic physical unit of heredity; a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides the coded instructions for synthesis of RNA, which, when translated into protein, leads to the expression of hereditary character.
