The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following bond is not associated with a deoxyribonucleotide?" we will analyze each option provided: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Deoxyribonucleotide Structure**: - A deoxyribonucleotide consists of three main components: - A deoxyribose sugar - A nitrogenous base (which can be either a purine or a pyrimidine) - A phosphate group 2. **Analyzing Each Bond**: - **(a) Phosphoester bond**: - This bond forms between the phosphate group and the deoxyribose sugar. Therefore, it is associated with deoxyribonucleotides. - **(b) Glycosidic bond**: - This bond forms between the nitrogenous base and the deoxyribose sugar. Hence, it is also associated with deoxyribonucleotides. - **(c) Phosphodiester bond**: - This bond is formed between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the hydroxyl group of the sugar of another nucleotide. It links two nucleotides together in a nucleic acid strand, but it is not a bond that is present within a single deoxyribonucleotide. - **(d) More than one option is correct**: - Since we have identified that both the phosphoester bond and glycosidic bond are associated with deoxyribonucleotides, this option is not correct. 3. **Conclusion**: - The bond that is not associated with a deoxyribonucleotide is the **phosphodiester bond** (option c). ### Final Answer: (c) Phosphodiester bond
