Copy the polynucleotide strand in Figure 5.26a and label
Chapter 5, Problem 5.29(choose chapter or problem)
Copy the polynucleotide strand in Figure 5.26a and label the bases G, T, C, and T, starting from the 5' end. Assuming this is a DNA polynucleotide, now draw the complementary strand, using the same symbols for phosphates (circles), sugars (pentagons), and bases. Label the bases. Draw arrows showing the \(5^{\prime} \rightarrow 3^{\prime}\) direction of each strand. Use the arrows to make sure the second strand is antiparallel to the first. Hint: After you draw the first strand vertically, turn the paper upside down; it is easier to draw the second strand from the 5' toward the 3' direction as you go from top to bottom.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
In the DNA strand, each nucleotide chain comprises sugar and phosphate molecules that form the strand's backbone. The nitrogen bases are arranged inwards and form steps of the double helix.
