Case Study : Read the following paragraph and answers the questions.
Nucleic acid, naturally occurring chemical compound that is capable of being broken down to yield phosphoric acid, sugars, and
a mixture of organic bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by
directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes
of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleic acids are polynucleotides—that is, long
chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a
nitrogen-containing aromatic base attached to a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, which is in turn attached to a phosphate group.
Each nucleic acid contains four of five possible nitrogen containing bases : adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T),
and uracil (U).
53. Nucleic acids are the polymers of......
(a) nucleosides (b) nucleotides (c) bases (d) sugars
54. Dinucleotide is obtained by joining two nucleotides together by phosphodiester linkage. Between which carbon atoms of
pentose sugars of nucleotides are these linkages present?
(a) 5' and 3' (b) 1' and 5' (c) 5' and 5' (d) 3' and 3'
55. The correct statement regarding RNA and DNA, respectively is
(a) The sugar component in RNA is arabinose and the sugar component in DNA is 2'-deoxyribose.
(b) The sugar component in RNA is ribose and the sugar component in DNA is 2'-deoxyribose.
(c) The sugar component in RNA is arabinose
(d) The sugar component in RNA is 2'-deoxyribose and the sugar component in DNA is arabinose
