We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. these are the _________blank group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the __________blank group attached to the ___blank carbon atom.
The nucleic acid strand orientation identified on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the: The Phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and and the free hydroxyl group that is (-OH) is attached to the 3' carbon atom. There is also nitrogenous base which is attached to the 1' carbon atom.
