When adding the next monomer to a growing DNA strand, the monomer is added to the
|
|
1’ carbon of the deoxyribose
|
|
|
2’ carbon of the deoxyribose
|
|
|
3’ carbon of the deoxyribose
|
|
|
4’ carbon of the deoxyribose
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘3rd carbon of the deoxyribose’.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘3rd carbon of the deoxyribose’.
Detailed explanation-3: -The monomers of DNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: a base, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate residue.
Detailed explanation-4: -During elongation, an enzyme called DNA polymerase adds DNA nucleotides to the 3′ end of the template.
Detailed explanation-5: -DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the 3’ end of a primer, extending the new chain in a 5’ → 3’ direction.
