Question

Polymerization starts at the ________ end of the template.

A. 4'
B. 3'
C. 5'
D. methylated

Answer 1

B. 3'

Step-by-step explanation:

Polymerization is the process of forming large molecules by joining together many small molecules. The small molecules are known as the monomers, and the macromolecules are called polymers.

There are two(2) types of polymerization.

a. addition polymerization

b. condensation polymerization

Polymerization is characterized by eliminating small molecules such as water, carbon(IV)oxide, methanol e.t.c.

In complex compounds, polymerization starts at the 3' end of the template.
