Question

What is wrong with the way the nucleotides are joined? The 5 carbon of the top nucleotide is connected to the 2 carbon position of the sugar in thas bottom nucleotide, but a phosphate attached to the 5' carbon of the bottom sugar should be covalently linked to the 3' OH group of the top sugar The 5 carbon of the bottom nucleotide is connected to the 2 carbon position of the sugar in the top nucleotide, but a phosphate attached to the 5 carbon of the top sugar should be covalently linked to the 3 OH group of the bottom sugar The 5 carbon of the bottom nucleotide is connected to the 2 carbon position of the sugar in the top nucleotide, but a phosphate attached to the 5' carbon of the bottom sugar should be covalently linked to the 3' OH group of the top sugar The 5' carbon of the top nucleotide is connected to the 2 carbon position of the sugar in the bottom nucleotide, but a phosphate attached to the 5 carbon of the top sugar should be covalently linked to the 3 OH group of the bottom sugar Submit

Explanation / Answer

option C.

nucleotide attached to the sugar with first carbon and bottom 5' phosphate is attached with 3' OH group of the top sugar.

here nucleotide are joined with second carbon
