A DNA molecule consists of two antiparallel strands of polynucleotides. Each strand is composed of nucleotides bound to each other along the sugar-phosphate backbone. Drag "True" or "False" to the end of each statement. In a single nucleotide, the phosphate group is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar unit. True Complementary base pairing relies on the number of hydrogen bonds that each base can make. True The -OH group on the 3' carbon of the sugar unit is the attachment site for the nitrogenous base. False The phosphate attached to the 5' carbon of a given nucleotide links to the 3' -OH of the adjacent nucleotide. True The antiparallel arrangement of double-stranded DNA is due to the phosphate group being bonded to the 3' carbon on one strand and the 5' carbon on the complementary strand. True

One end of DNA is 5-prime (5'). This means that the terminal carbon in the DNA strand's bonding pathway is the number 5 carbon of the nucleotide's sugar. True or False?
Sri K.
True/False: As mRNA is synthesized, RNA nucleotides are added by base pairing with the complementary DNA strand; the sequence matches the coding ("top" or 5') strand in the DNA double helix. True/False: Messenger RNA is capped at the 3' end, and a poly A tail added at the 5' end, to make a mature mRNA. True/False: mRNA is translated in the cytoplasm by ribosomes into a polypeptide chain.
