Question

The 3' end of a DNA strand is defined as the place where (A) the phosphate group is not bound to another nucleotide (B) both DNA strands end opposite each other (C) DNA polymerase binds to begin replication (D) there is a free -OH group at the 3' carbon of deoxyribose

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (d) there is a free -OH group at the 3' carbon of deoxyribose

Q. The $3^{'}$ end of a $D N A$ strand is defined as the place where

the phosphate group is not bound to another nucleotide

both $D N A$ strands end opposite each other

$D N A$ polymerase binds to begin replication

there is a free $- O H$ group at the $3^{'}$ carbon of deoxyribose

Correct answer is (d) there is a free $- O H$ group at the $3^{'}$ carbon of deoxyribose

Q. The 3′ end of a DNA strand is defined as the place where

the phosphate group is not bound to another nucleotide

both DNA strands end opposite each other

DNA polymerase binds to begin replication

there is a free −OH group at the 3′ carbon of deoxyribose

Correct answer is (d) there is a free −OH group at the 3′ carbon of deoxyribose
