Question

Hydrogen bond 3' end 5 end The two strands in a DNA helix are described as being antiparallel, or in opposite orientations. If one DNA strand is in the 5' to 3 orientation, the complementary DNIA strand is orientated View Available Hint(s) 5' to 1' 3' to 1 1 to 5 5' to 3' 3' to 5' Submit Comparing/contrasting DNA with RNA The building blocks of DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are very similar. Both nucleotide types contain a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogen-containing base However, structuraly and functionally, there are some key differences. DNA is generally double-stranded while RNA is single-stranded, with some exceptions found in certain viruses. Cels use the informabon iNA transcribe RNA, while the information contained in messenger RNA is then translated by the cell into protein. The key features of DNA and RNA are summarized in this table Backbone Strands DNA RNA stranded in some viruses Single-stranded in cell and most RNA viruses; (reoviruses). The sugar is ribose. The nitrogen-containing bases are oytosine (C), guanine (G adenine The sugar is a deoxyribose

Explanation / Answer

3' to 5' orientation

The two strands of DNA are alligned in opposite direction to each other. If one strands has the orientation of 5'to 3', the other strand will be arranged in 3'to 5'direction.
