The functional group present at the 5' end of a DNA strand is a phosphate group, while the functional group at the 3' end is a hydroxyl group.
There are about 3 billion nitrogen base pairs present in one strand of human DNA.
The 5' end of a DNA strand is indicated by the phosphate group attached to the 5th carbon of the sugar molecule in the nucleotide.
The phosphate group is added to the 5' end of a DNA strand during DNA synthesis because the nucleotides are joined together from the 5' to 3' direction. This forms a bond between the 3' OH group of one nucleotide and the 5' phosphate group of another, creating a phosphodiester bond. The 3' end of the DNA strand remains with a free hydroxyl group, which is essential for further DNA synthesis.
At the 3' end of DNA, there is a hydroxyl group attached to the third carbon of the sugar molecule in the DNA strand.
The term for the 5' DNA strand is the leading strand.

The 5' end of a DNA strand is indicated by the phosphate group attached to the 5th carbon of the sugar molecule in the nucleotide.
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
The phosphate group is added to the 5' end of a DNA strand during DNA synthesis because the nucleotides are joined together from the 5' to 3' direction. This forms a bond between the 3' OH group of one nucleotide and the 5' phosphate group of another, creating a phosphodiester bond. The 3' end of the DNA strand remains with a free hydroxyl group, which is essential for further DNA synthesis.
At the 3' end of DNA, there is a hydroxyl group attached to the third carbon of the sugar molecule in the DNA strand.
The term for the 5' DNA strand is the leading strand.
The complementary strand of DNA to the template strand TACGGCTA would be ATGCCGAT.
ddNTPs, or dideoxynucleotide triphosphates, are used in DNA sequencing because they lack a 3' hydroxyl group, which prevents further DNA strand elongation when they are incorporated into the growing DNA strand. This allows for the determination of the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA template.
During DNA replication, nucleotides are added to the 3' end of a DNA strand by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. This enzyme attaches new nucleotides to the existing strand in a complementary manner, following the base pairing rules (A with T, and G with C). The 3' end of the DNA strand provides a free hydroxyl group (-OH) that allows the DNA polymerase to add the new nucleotide, extending the DNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction.
The DNA strand that acts as a pattern for the newly synthesized DNA is called the template strand. It serves as a guide during DNA replication, where complementary nucleotides are added to create a new DNA strand.
