Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The bases present in the nucleotides should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The
(b)
Interpretation:
The 5' and 3' end should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The DNA and RNA are described by the molecules in them. The 5' end has the free phosphate and the 3' end has two OH groups on the five-membered sugar ring.
(c)
Interpretation:
The three-letter name of the given
Concept Introduction:
The three-letter name of the nucleotides is done on the basis of the base and the number of the phosphate molecules present in it.
(d)
Interpretation:
If the given dinucleotide is deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
There are two types of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. The difference between them lies due to the difference between the structure of sugar present in it.
(e)
Interpretation:
The name of the dinucleotide should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
There are two types of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. They are made up of different nucleotides, which are named on the basis of the bases present in them.
