Question

For the following fragment of DNA, determine the number of hydrogen bonds and the number of phosphodiester bonds present:

5'-ACGTAGAGTGCTC-3'
3'-TGCATCTCACGAG-5'

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So today, we need to determine the number of phosphor bonds in the following DNA fragment. So we have five prime att C G T C A G A G T C or G C T and then C three prime and it's complementary strand. So as answer choice A, we have 15 as answer choice B, we have 16 as answer choice C we have 30. And as answer choice D we have 32. And remember that this is only referring to one of the strands since the number of phosphor dier bonds is going to be located or is going to be found within a single strand. So it's not something that is going to be used to interact between the two strands. Now knowing that remember from previous videos, that the formula to calculate the number of phosphor dier bonds is going to be N minus one, which is multiplying two. This N is going to be standing for the number of nucleates that the DNA strand is going to have. So for example, this DNA strand is going to have a total of nucleotides. So we input that in the place of N, we subtract by one and we multiply by two and we're going to obtain a total of 30 phospho di turbines. So the correct answer choice here is going to be answer choice C 30. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
