Phosphodiester bonds connect Select one: a. the 3’ carbon of one nucleotide to the hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the 5’ carbon on another nucleotide b. fatty acids to glycerol molecules c. the 3’ carbon of one nucleotide to the phosphate group (PO4) attached to the 5’ carbon on another nucleotide d. the 5’ carbon of one nucleotide to the phosphate group (PO4) attached to the 3’ carbon on another nucleotide
Each phosphodiester linkage in DNA or RNA includes a phosphate joined by covalent bonds to (a) two bases (b) two sugars (c) two additional phosphates (d) a sugar, a base, and a phosphate (e) a sugar and a base
