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.

- Is the trinucleotide in Problem 22-32 found only in DNA, found only in RNA, or found in both DNA and RNA? Explain the basis for your answer.arrow_forward25-22 In DNA, which carbon atoms of 2-deoxy-D-ribose are bonded to the phosphate groups?arrow_forwardSuppose that 28% of the nucleotides in a DNA molecule are deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate, and that during DNA replication the percentage amounts of available nucleotide bases art 22% A, 22% C, 28% G. and 28% T. Which base would be depleted first in the replication process?arrow_forward
