Chapter 12, Problem 25Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the figure 13.4, the part of each nucleotide that becomes the backbone of the polymer has to be found.

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 Introduction

Interpretation: In figure 13.4, the part that hangs off the backbone has to be found.
