Question 7

What products would be formed when a nucleotide from DNA containing thymine is hydrolysed?

Answer

 

The three dimensional structure of DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) was given by James Watson & Francis crick in 1953. They proposed that DNA polymer forms a duplex structure consisting of 2 strands of polynucleotide chains coiled around each other in the form of a double helix. The nucleotide form the backbone of DNA structure.

When a nucleotide from the DNA containing thymine is hydrolysed, thymine β-D-2-deoxyribose and phosphoric acid are obtained as products.
