Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Interpret the structure of cytidine.
Concept Introduction:
A nucleoside only consist of nitrogenous base attached with pentose sugar. Phosphate group is not present in it.
Adenine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside adenosine, thymine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside thymidine, guanine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside guanidine and cytosine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside cytidine.
(b)
Interpretation:
Interpret the structure of deoxycytidine.
Concept Introduction:
A nucleoside only consist of nitrogenous base attached with pentose sugar. Phosphate group is not present in it.
Adenine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside adenosine, thymine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside thymidine, guanine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside guanidine and cytosine attached with sugar produce a nucleoside cytidine.
