Question
Dinucleotide is obtained by joining two nucleotides together by phosphodiester linkage. Between which carbon atoms of pentose sugars of nucleotides are these linkages present?
Options
5′ and 3'
1′ and 5′
5′ and 5′
3′ and 3′

Solution
5′ and 3'
Explanation:
Nucleotides are joined together by phosphodiester linkage between 5' and 3' carbon atoms of the pentose sugar.
