Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of bond links nucleotides in an RNA strand?
  • Step 1: Understand that RNA is made up of smaller units called nucleotides.
  • Step 2: Each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
  • Step 3: When nucleotides join together to form an RNA strand, they connect through a specific type of bond.
  • Step 4: This bond is called a phosphodiester bond.
  • Step 5: The phosphodiester bond forms between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of the next nucleotide.
