, QUESTION 1
[15]
Discuss, with the aid of diagrams, how these
nucleotides (2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate;
2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate and 2'-
deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate) are linked
together to form a polynucleotide during the
polymerisation process.

2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate and 2'-
deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate) are linked
together to form a polynucleotide during the
polymerisation process.
During DNA polymerisation, nucleotides are linked
together by forming phosphodiester bonds between
the 3'-hydroxyl (3'-OH) group of one nucleotide's
deoxyribose and the 5'-phosphate group of the next
nucleotide. The nucleotides involved in this process
are deoxyribonucleotides, specifically 2'-
deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate (dGTP), 2'-
