  2. BWhen a phosphate group is linked to OH of 5' C of a nucleoside through phosphodiester linkage, a corresponding
  3. CTwo nucleotides are linked through 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide.
  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

B. When a phosphate group is linked to OH of 5' C of a nucleoside through phosphodiester linkage, a corresponding

Step-by-step solution

A nitrogenous base is linked to the OH of 1' C pentose sugar through a N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside, such as adenosine or deoxyadenosine, guanosine or deoxyguanosine, cytidine or deoxycytidine and uridine or deoxythymidine. When a phosphate group is linked to OH of 5' C of a nucleoside through phosphoester linkage, a corresponding nucleotide (or deoxynucleotide depending upon the type of sugar present) is formed. Two nucleotides are linked through 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide. Mo
