A DNA nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. A RNA nucleotide contains the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. A DNA molecule consists of two strands of nucleotides formed into a double helix, while a mRNA molecule is single-stranded, and tRNA has a clover-leaf shape.

For DNA polymerase to link nucleotides together as new strands of DNA the first nucleotide must be attached to what because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to a pre exsisting strand?

The first nucleotide must be attached to a short RNA primer to provide a free 3' hydroxyl group for DNA polymerase to extend from. DNA polymerase starts adding nucleotides to this RNA primer to begin DNA replication.


What is a nucleotide polymer?

A nucleotide polymer is a long chain made up of nucleotide units bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nucleotide polymers form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules.
