A “phosphodiester bond” links together: Group of answer choices The α phosphate group and N9 atom of adenine in ATP. The 5' phosphate and the 3' hydroxyl in opposite (complementary) strands of double stranded DNA molecule. Sequential nucleotide subunits in a molecule of DNA, but not RNA. Sequential nucleotide subunits in a molecule of DNA or RNA.

Step 1
Step 1: Recall that a phosphodiester bond forms between a phosphate group and the sugar of adjacent nucleotides, linking the 5' phosphate of one nucleotide to the 3' hydroxyl of the next. Show more…
