Exercise1 Question 7
What products would be formed when a nucleotide from DNA containing thymine is hydrolysed?
The three dimensional structure of DNA(deoxyribose nucleic acid) was given by James Watson & Francis crick in 1953.They proposed that DNA polymer forms a duplex structure consisting of 2 strands of polynucleotide chains coiled around each other in the form of a double helix.The nucleitide form the backbone of DNA structure.
When a nucleotide from the DNA containing thymine is hydrolyzed, thymine β-D-2-deoxyribose and phosphoric acid are obtained as products.
