Interpretation:
Structure should be drawn to show how the sugar and base components of a
Concept introduction:
A base is nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound which is found in DNA and RNA.
In a nucleotide three different kinds of components are present and they are,
- (1) Pentose sugar
- (2) Nitrogen base
- (3) Phosphate group
A base is nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound which is found in DNA and RNA.
Glycosidic linkage is a type of covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.
