Answer:

3' OH ( hydroxyl group).

Explanation:

DNA is present as the genetic material in almost all the living organisms except in case of some viruses only. DNA is made of the polymers of the nucleotides.

The phosphodiester bond is present between the two nucleotide chains. The phosphodiester is a covalent bond formed in which the phosphate group of nucleotide is involved with the hydroxyl group of the sugar and a small molecule like water is removed during the process.

Thus, the correct answer is  3' OH ( hydroxyl group).

Phoenix [80]
<span>A physician may be virtuous (kind, just, and honest) and still not know which actions are known as morally permissible. There are more ways to define "morally permissible." One is to break the words apart, to define "morally" and then "permissible." However, there is a more holistic way. In Ethics in the First Person, Deni Elliott defines permissibility thusly. Permitted [means] behavior that is within the bounds of the moral system.</span>

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vacuoles are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells because they hold more water to stay upright

Plant cells have cell walls to provide a stronger external structure and animal cells do not.

Special organelles called chloroplasts are found in plant cells and not in animal cells to allow them to produce their own food.
