Question

In DNA, the consecutive deoxynucleotides are connected by (A) phosphodiester linkage (B) phosphomonoester linkage (C) phosphotriester linkage (D) amide linkage

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When nucleoside is joined to phosphoric acid at 5' position of sugar moiety, we get nucleotide. Nucleotide are joined by phosphodiester linkage between 5' and 3' carbon atoms of pentose sugar.

Q. In $D N A$ , the consecutive deoxynucleotides are connected by

phosphodiester linkage

phosphomonoester linkage

phosphotriester linkage

amide linkage

imide linkage

When nucleoside is joined to phosphoric acid at $5^{'}$ position of sugar moiety, we get nucleotide. Nucleotide are joined by phosphodiester linkage between $5^{'}$ and $3^{'}$ carbon atoms of pentose sugar.
