Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Nucleoside**: - A nucleoside is a compound that consists of a nitrogenous base (which can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine/uracil) bonded to a pentose sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose). - Example: Adenosine is a common nucleoside formed from adenine and ribose. 2. **Properties of Nucleoside**: - Nucleosides are slightly basic in nature due to the presence of the nitrogenous base. ...
