Answer:

Glycosidic bond

Step-by-step explanation:

The glycosidic bond in DNA is the nitrogen-carbon coupling in between the 9′ nitrogen of purine bases (Adenine/Guanine) or the 1′ nitrogen of pyrimidine bases (Cytosine/Thymine) as well as the 1′ carbon of the deoxyribose sugar group. The synthesis of nucleoside arises from the binding of the nitrogenous base to the deoxyribose sugar via N-glycosidic linkage.
