Chapter 9.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The differences between a phosphoester bond and a phosphodiester linkage.
Introduction
The genetic material of an organism is either DNA or RNA. The deoxyribonucleic acid is the hereditary material present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is also present in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. DNA helps in the determination of the composition of an organism.
