Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.

If all the droplets were the same size, which would fall most slowly through the apparatus?
Alenkinab [10]
If all the droplets were the same size, the droplet with the smallest charge <span>would fall most slowly through the apparatus. Basically, buoyancy is the same for all droplets but the electrical force would be different for each. The higher the electrical force the greater is the gravitational pull towards that droplet. Therefore, the droplet that has the </span>smallest charge<span> would drop most slowly.</span>
