In a single strand of nucleic acid, nucleotides are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. These bonds are formed between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the hydroxyl group on the sugar of the adjacent nucleotide. This linkage creates a sugar-phosphate backbone that provides structural integrity to the nucleic acid strand, whether it is DNA or RNA.
