Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the subunits are linked.
Introduction: Nucleotides are ubiquitous molecules and building blocks of the nucleic acids. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is made up of deoxynucleotides, whereas the ribonucleic acid (RNA) is made up of ribonucleotides. DNA consists of genetic instructions in the form of gene sequences.
