Question

When a phosphate group is linked to 5' OH of deoxyadenosine by phosphodiester linkage, a corresponding nucleotide is formed, which is (A) Adenosine (B) Adenylic acid (C) Adenine (D) Deoxyadenylic acid

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Nucleotide is a combination of nucleoside and phosphate group. When deoxyribose sugar attaches to adenine nucleoside, deoxyadenosine is formed. When phosphate attaches to 5' OH of deoxyadenosine, then a corresponding nucleotide called deoxyadenylic acid is formed.
