(a)
Interpretation:
In the figure 13.4, the part of each
Concept Introduction:
DNA:
DNA is a self-replicating genetic material that is present in all living organisms. It carries genetic information from one generation to the several successive generations. Basically it is a biopolymer of nucleotides which are monomeric units and each monomeric unit has three major components such as a deoxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.
(b)
Interpretation: In figure 13.4, the part that hangs off the backbone has to be found.
