Phosphodiester bonds, which are the covalent chemical bonds that holds together the polynucleotide chains of RNA and DNA by joining a carbon in the pentose sugar of one nucleotide to a carbon in the pentose sugar of the adjacent nucleotide.

phosphodiester bond
A nucleotide is a chemical compound that consists of 3 components: a heterocyclic base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. In the most common nucleotides the base is a derivative of purine or pyrimidine, and the sugar is the pentose (five-carbon sugar) deoxyribose or ribose. Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids, with three or more bonding together in order to form a nucleic acid.
