Answer:

DNA is the genetic material of all the living organism except some viruses. The structure and the characteristics of the DNA was well explained by Watson and Crick.

DNA is a double stranded molecule in which nitrogenous bases are linked together. Watson and crick explained that DNA strand are antiparallel. The antiparallel nature of the strand means one DNA gas a polarity of 5' to 3' direction whereas the another strand of the DNA gas polarity of 3' to 5' direction. These two strands has opposite polarity and runs in anti parallel directions. Thus, the DNA strand known as antiparallel strands.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is

1. 5' end.

2. guanosine

3. 5′ to 5′ triphosphate linkage.

4. On the 7th position.

5. 2′ hydroxy-groups of the first 2 ribose sugars.

Explanation:

The eukaryotic mRNA is processed or modified with a guanosine cap at 5' end and poly-A tail at 3'end before translation.

The process of adding a cap at 5' end of a growing mRNA is known as capping. The process of capping adds guanosine nucleotide at the 5'-end of mRNAs by 5′ to 5′ triphosphate linkage. This guanosine is modified by methylating at the  7th position of the atom. The mRNA is further modified by methylation of first two ribose sugars at their 2′ hydroxy-groups. This capping is advantageous to the sequence as it protects the end from phosphatases and nucleases.
