Given below are two statements:

Statement I: A unit formed by the attachment of a base to the 1′ position of a sugar is known as a nucleoside.

Statement II: When a nucleoside is linked to phosphorous acid at the 5′-position of the sugar moiety, we get a nucleotide.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C.Statement I is true but Statement II is false✓
  4. D.Statement I is false but Statement II is true

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
