Diagram Of Polynucleotide. The covalent sugarphosphate bonds phosphodiester bonds link the 5 carbon of one sugar molecule and the 3 carbon of the next. Like dna the nucleic acid rna ribonucleic acid is a polynucleotide it is made up of many nucleotides linked together in a long chain.
Each of these chains is known as a dna chain or a dna strand. In both dna and rna it is formed of alternating sugars and phosphates linked together with the bases projecting sideways. Polynucleotide digestion is analyzed by hplc.
Like dna rna nucleotides contain the nitrogenous bases adenine a guanine g and cytosine c.
The salient features of the double helix structure of dna are as follows. A nucleotide is made of the following components. This video will help you understand the basic concepts of polynucleotide along with helping you understand the ncert diagram as wellafter watching this vide. Understand the structure and definition of a polynucleotide how nucleotides join together and the types and functions of polynucleotides.
