If a DNA molecule has 2000 bp then calculate the,
(a) Number of sugar and phosphate molcules.
(b) Number of N-glycosidic linkage.

Explanation

(a) Total number of nucleotides = 4000
Nucleotide `to` Nitrogen base + Sugar + Phosphate
Thus , total no. of sugar = 4000, and phosphate = 4000.
(b) N-glycosidic linakage occurs in between nitrogen base and sugar.
Total no. = 4000
