Deficiencies in this vitamin can lead to adrenal stress and high cortisol levels or cortisol depletion as your body attempts to make up for the vitamin deficiency by using this hormone's overdrive mechanism, which is usually reserved for emergencies, illness and other stressful events.
The reason why it is advantageous to have weak hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs and strong covalent bonds between phoshate and deoxyribose groups in a DNA molecâ¦ule is because the strong covalent bonds running along the  ladder  of the DNA molecule ( the phospate and deoxyribose units ) keep the molecule together during its ...
The bond formed between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of an adjacent nucleotide is a covalent bond. A covalent bond is the sharing of electrons between atoms. A covalent bond is stronger than a hydrogen bond (hydrogen bonds hold pairs of nucleotides together on opposite strands in DNA). Thus, the covalent bond is crucial to the backbone of the DNA.
