Which of the following statements about nucleic acids is not correct?
Select one:
A.
In DNA the distance between the strands of the double helix is relatively constant.
B.
The growing DNA polymer is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.
C.
The enzymes that catalyze DNA synthesis are known as DNA polymerases.
D.
RNA strands are synthesized in the 3' to 5' direction.
E.
Unlike DNA, RNA is easily cleaved because the 2'-OH group of the ribose is a nucleophile that catalyzes hydrolysis of the strand.

The 2’ carbon of the ribose to the 3’ carbon of the subsequent ribose.
b.
The 3’ carbon of the ribose to the 5’ carbon of the subsequent ribose.
