Chapter 26, Problem 19P

Name the following:

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Name of the given compound should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Nucleotide is a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group and they form the basis structural unit of nucleic acid like DNA.

The number of different possible codons using four nucleotides is $4^n$ n is the number of letters (nucleotides) in the code.

Nucleosides are composed of nitrogenous base and sugar. The name of nucleiside ends with ine .

The pentose sugar is either ribose in ribonucleosides or 2-deoxyribose in deoxyribonucleiosides.

$Nucleoside=Nitrogenousbase+sugar$

A base is nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound which is found in DNA and RNA.

Nucleotide is a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group and they form the basis structural unit of nucleic acid like DNA.

$Nucleotide=Nucleoside+phosphate$
