In deoxyribonucleic acid, the nitrogenous bases are attached to the ____ carbon of the deoxyribose sugar and the phosphate group is attached to the _____ carbon of the deoxyribose sugar. A ____________ bond joins a phosphate group of one nucleotide to the sugar of the next nucleotide. 5' 1' phosphodiester 3' 5' hydrogen bond 1' 5' hydrogen bond 5' 3' phosphodiester 1' 5' phosphodiester

Step 1
The nitrogenous bases are attached to the 1' carbon of the deoxyribose sugar. This is because the nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) have a nitrogen-containing ring structure that can form a glycosidic bond with the 1' carbon of the sugar. Show more…

1. Nucleotides are composed of one or more phosphates, a sugar, and a base. nucleic acids. fatty acids and a base. a base and at least one phosphate. one or more amino acids. 2. What is attached to the 5' carbon of deoxyribose in DNA? Adenine Thymine Guanine Uracil Phosphate 3. Nucleotides are joined together in a single strand of DNA by carbon-carbon bonds. by hydrogen bonds. by glycosidic linkages. by phosphodiester bonds. by hydrophobic interactions.
The nucleotide at the end of one strand of a fragment of double-stranded DNA has a free phosphate attached to the 5' carbon of its deoxyribose sugar. The complementary nucleotide has... a free phosphate attached to the 5' carbon of its deoxyribose sugar. a free phosphate attached to the 3' carbon of its deoxyribose sugar. a hydroxyl group attached to the 5' carbon of its deoxyribose sugar. two hydrogen atoms attached to the 3' carbon of its deoxyribose sugar. a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the 3' carbon of its deoxyribose sugar.
