Question

If you want to identify the 3' end of a DNA or RNA molecule. what does it have there?

Answer 1

3'-carbon

Step-by-step explanation:

"three prime" is what indicates the carbon numbers in the DNA's sugar backbone also The 5' carbon has a phosphate group attached to it and the 3' carbon group. which causes the asymmetry to give a DNA strand a "direction" to allowing for easy binding between nucleotide of the opposite strands

Answer 2

One end of the chain carries a free phosphate group attached to the 5'-carbon atom; this is called the 5' end of the molecule. The other end has a free hydroxyl (-OH) group at the 3'-carbon and is called the 3' end of the molecule. Hopefully this helps
