Answer:

c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars

Explanation:

Phosphodiester bond is the bond which is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide to the phosphate group of the another nucleotide. These are ester bonds. These bonds are central to all the life which is in existence on Earth. These bonds forms the backbone of the strands of the nucleic acid.

The bond is formed by the linkage of 3' carbon atom of one of the sugar unit to the 5' carbon atom of the another succeeding sugar unit.

<u>Hence, the answer is:- c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars</u>

An object was measured by a worker as 17.4cm long, however, the manufacturer specifications list the length of the object at 17.
Olin [163]

Answer:

Percent error = 2.8

Explanation:

Given data;

Actual value = 17.9 cm

Measured value = 17.4 cm

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [actual value - measured value / actual value] × 100

Now we will put the values in formula:

Percent error = [17.9 cm - 17.4 cm / 17.9 cm] × 100

Percent error = [0.5 cm /17.9 cm] × 100

Percent error = 0.028  × 100

Percent error = 2.8
