In DNA and RNA, nucleotides are joined by
A. |
peptide linkages. |
|
B. |
glycosidic linkages |
|
C. |
hydrogen bonds. |
|
D. |
phosphodiester linkages. |
Ans:
D. Phosphodiester linkages
Explanation: DNA and RNA are the polymer of nucleotides. Each nucleoside is consists of deoxyribose/ ribose sugar, base (A, T/U, G and C). Each nucleotide is formed by nucleosides joined together by phosphodiester linkages.The sugars of DNA and RNA are linked together by phosphodiester linkages The bases are joined together by hydrogen bonds. A pairs with T with two hydrogen bonds and G pairs with C by three hydrogen bonds. Amino acids are joined together by peptide linkages to form polypeptide and monosaccharides are joined together by glycosidic bonds to form di to polysaccharide.
