Chapter 13, Problem 9Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: From the given figures of comparison, the two functional groups that react to form a polymer similar to DNA have to be circled.

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:

The sugar unit that is given in the figure of question 8 is a ribose sugar rather than a deoxyribose sugar. A polymer that is formed from this nucleotide has to be named.

Concept Introduction:

RNA:

RNA is a polymeric molecule. It is an essential molecule that plays a major biological role in coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. Basically it is a biopolymer of nucleotides which are monomeric units and each monomeric unit has three major components such as a ribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.
