Short Answer

Expert verified

The structure of DNA dinucleotide AG can be drawn.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Biopolymers

The Biopolymers are made up of nucleotides that are joined to form a long chain. Every nucleotide comprises a nucleoside with a phosphate bond.

02

Explanation for drawing the structure

The free hydroxyl group is present in one end of dinucleotide at 3’ end and phosphate at the 5’ end. In dinucleotide, the combination of A-G, 2’-deoxyadenosine 5’-phosphate with 2’-deoxyguanosine 5’-phosphate using linkage of phosphodiester. The structure can be drawn as,
