Please explain how you solved this problem clearly.Thanks in advance.
(Problem 27, part a) For entertainment on a Friday night, a genetics professor proposed that his children diagram a polynucleotide strand of DNA. Having learned about DNA in preschool, his 5-year-old daughter was able to draw a polynucleotide strand, but she made several mistakes. The daughter's diagram (represented here) contained at least 10 mistakes. Which option, below, is NOT a mistake made in this diagram?
Please explain how you solved this problem clearly.Thanks in advance.
A. Neither 5'-carbon atom of the two sugars is directly linked to phosphorous. B. Neither 5'-carbon atom of the two sugars has an OH group attached. C. Neither sugar molecule has oxygen in its ring structure between the 1' and 4'-carbon atoms. D. In both sugars, the 2'-carbon atom has an –OH group attached, which the 2'-carbon atom of deoxyribonucleotides does not have. E. An –OH group is attached at a hydrogen atom rather than the 1'carbon of both sugars. F. A hydrogen atom is attached at the 3'position in both sugars, rather than an –OH group. G. An –OH group is attached at the 1'carbon of both sugars rather than a hydrogen atom.
