Write the structure of nucleic acids.

Answer»

Nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA, are polymers of nucleotides, formed by joining the 3′ – OH group of one nucleotide with 5′ – phosphate of another nucleotide. 

Two ends of polynucleotide chain are distinct from each other. 

One end having free phosphate group of 5′ position is called 5′ end. 

The other end is 3′ end and has free OH – group at 3′ position.
