(a)
Interpretation:
The bases present in the
Concept Introduction:
The five common bases in the
(b)
Interpretation:
In the given structure,5 and 3 ends need to be labeled.
Concept Introduction:
Both DNA and RNA are formed by joining3'-OH (3 end) group of one nucleotide and 5'- phosphate (5 end) of a second nucleotide resulting in a phosphodiester linkage.
(c)
Interpretation:
Thethree- or four-letter abbreviation for the two nucleotides needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleotides are nucleic acids which are unbranched
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the given molecule is ribonucleotide or deoxyribonucleotide needsto be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleotides are nucleic acids which are unbranched polymers containing repeating monomers. The two types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. There are three components of the DNA and RNA containing the nucleotide monomers: a monosaccharide, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group.
(e)
Interpretation:
The dinucleotide needs to be named.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleotides are nucleic acids which are unbranched polymers containing repeating monomers. The two types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. There are three components of the DNA and RNA containing the nucleotide monomers: a monosaccharide, a nitrogen-containing base, and a phosphate group.
The name of the dinucleotide begins with the nucleotide with the 5' end.
