Why does a DNA chain have polarity?
Why does a DNA chain have polarity?
- The percentage of A always equals the percentage of T, leading to polarity in DNA
- The terminal nucleotide at one end has a free 5Í´ group, and the other end has a 3Í´ group, resulting in polarity (correct)
- DNA's helical structure causes it to have polarity
