Nucleotides polymerize via condensation reactions. The reaction forms a new covalent bond—a phosphodiester linkage, or a phospho

diester bond—between the nucleotides, and a molecule of water is released. Where does the phosphodiester bond connect the two nucleotides?

Finger [1]4 years ago

Answer:

The phosphodiester connects the 3′ carbon of one nucleotide to the 5′ carbon of another nucleotide

Explanation:

The phosphodiester bond is a covalent bond where a phosphate group is attached to adjacent C through an ester bond, which is a consequence of a condensation reaction between the two sugar hydroxyl groups and the phosphate group.

The diester bond between phosphoric acid and two sugar molecules in the DNA and RNA skeleton binds two nucleotides forming polymers known as oligonucleotides.

The phosphodiester bond binds a C3` with a C5` in both DNA and RNA

          (base)1-(sugar)-OH + HO-P(O)2-O-(sugar)-(base)2   ------>

------>   (base)1-(sugar)-O-P(O)2-O-(sugar)-(base)2  

During the reaction of two of the hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid with a hydroxyl group in two other molecules two ester bonds in a phosphodiester group are formed. A condensation reaction in which a water molecule is lost generates each ester bond.

What is the relatioship between atomic numbers and ionic radii of the elements in Group 1? what is the relationship between atom
Sever21 [200]
As atomic number increases atomic radii also increase down group 1. ionisation energy down group 1 will also decrease because as atomic radii gets bigger there is less electrostatic force between nuclei and electrons so less energy needed to remove valence electron.

Que. 1. Gallium has 2 naturally occuring Isotopes with mass numbers 69 & 71 respectively. What is the percentage abundance o
IgorC [24]

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different masses. The relative atomic mass (am) is a weighted average that takes into account the abundance of each isotope. We can calculate the relative atomic mass using the following expression.

am = \frac{\Sigma m_i  \times ab_i}{100}

where,

  • mi: mass of each isotope
  • abi: percent abundance of each isotope

For Gallium,

70.59 amu = \frac{69 amu\ x + 71 amu\ y}{100}     [1]

where "x" and "y" are the unknown abundances.

We also know that the sum of both abundances must be 100%.

x + y = 100

y = 100 - x   [2]

If we replace [2] in [1], we get

70.59 amu = \frac{69 amu\ x + 71 amu\ (100-x)}{100} \\7059 amu = -2 amu\ x + 7100amu \\x = 20.5

Then, in [2]

y = 100 - x = 100 - 20.5 = 79.5

In conclusion, Ga-69 has an abundance of 20.5% and Ga-71 has an abundance of 79.5%.

Which statements describe the law of conservation of charge? Check all that apply.
AlekseyPX
The statements in accordance with the law of conservation of charge are:
A. The total charge of the reactants and products must be equal
B. The net charge of an isolated system remains constant

Both of these statements follow the law of conservation of charge which states that charge may neither be created nor destroyed, due to which the total charge in an isolated system (one in which charge can not move in or out of) remains constant.

A patient needs to be given exactly 1000ml of 15% (w/v) intravenous glucose solution. The stock solution is 35% (w/v). How many
mezya [45]
In this question, the patient needs to be given exactly <span>1000ml </span>of a 15.0%. The content of the glucose should be: 
weight= volume * density* concentration
1000ml * 1mg/ml *15%= 150mg.

The stock solution is 35%, then the amount needed in ml would be: 
weight= volume * density* concentration
150mg= volume * 1mg/ml *35%
volume= 150/35%= 3000/7= 428.5ml
