Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The structure of RNA dinucleotide UA can be drawn as
1Definition of Biopolymers
The Biopolymers are made up of nucleotides that are joined to form a long chain. Every nucleotide comprises a nucleoside with a phosphate bond.
2Explanation for drawing the structure
The dinucleotide end has a free hydroxyl group at 3’ end and a phosphate group at the 5’ end. The U-A dinucleotide contains the combination of Uridine 5’-phosphate with adenosine 5’-phosphate using phosphodiester linkage. This molecule of dinucleotide contains one phosphodiester linkage, three hydroxyl groups, and one phosphate group.
