Given below are two statements:Statement I: A unit formed by the attachment of a base at 1' position of sugar is known as nucleoside.Statement II: When nucleoside is linked to phosphorous acid at 5' - position of sugar moiety, we get nucleotide.
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the definitions of nucleoside and nucleotide.Let's examine each statement:Statement I: A unit formed by the attachment of a base at 1' position of sugar is known as nucleoside.• A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base attached to a sugar molecule (ribose or deoxyribose) at the 1' position.• This statement is correct.Statement II: When nucleoside is linked to phosphorous acid at 5' - position of sugar moiety, we get nucleotide.
