Which of the following is not associated with a deoxyribonucleotide? A) Phosphoester bond B) Glycosidic bond C) Phosphodiester bond D) More than one option correct
Dear Student,
The correct answer will be (C) Phosphodiester bond.
Because phosphoester bond is the bond between the sugar and the phosphate group. So, it will surely be present in the deoxyribonucleotide molecule. But phosphodiester bond forms between the two consecutive deoxyryibonucleotides. Actually this is the main difference between the two bonds that, phosphoester bonds with only one sugar and phosphodiester bonds two sugars.
And we know, glycosidic bond is between nitrogenous base and pentose sugar, so it is the defnite part.
Regards.
