Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- BA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- CA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- DA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Correct answer
D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step solution
A nucleoside is formed when a nitrogenous base is attached to the 1' position of a pentose sugar. (A III) A nucleotide is formed when a nucleoside is linked to phosphoric acid at the 5' position of the sugar moiety. (B IV) Two nucleotides are joined together by a phosphodiester linkage between the 5' and 3' carbon atoms of the pentose sugar to form a dinucleotide. (C I) The pentose sugar present in RNA is -D-ribose, whereas in DNA it is -D-2-deoxyribose. (D II) Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D
