<span>a. x and y are atoms of the same element.
If both atoms contain the same amount of protons, they are always the same element.

I believe the answer is C
The atomic number of the product decrease by one in the d) positron emission and the e) electron capture radioactive decay. These radioactive decays are two of three common forms of the Beta Decay which occurred when the proton released a positron and a neutron emitted an electron<span>. The Beta Decay can increase or decrease the atomic number.</span>
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>
