Chapter 14.2, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The bonds which are formed between the complementary base pairs and the bonds which are present between a base and the deoxyribose sugar.
Introduction:
The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is made up of deoxyribose sugar attached with a phosphate group at the 5' end and a nitrogenous base attached at the 1' end. There are four nitrogenous bases in the DNA, adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T) and cytosine (C).
