The backbone in a nucleic acids strand is called: a. peptide backbone b. glycosidic backbone c. sugar backbone d. phosphodiester backbone

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Backbone in a nucleic acids strand is made up of sugar molecules attached with phosphodiester bond.

This sugar-phosphate linkage helps in joining of nucleotides in a DNA sequence. Due to this backbone structural framework of nucleotides is formed. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose.  

Thus, we can conclude that the backbone in a nucleic acids strand is called sugar backbone.

a is the answer to this question

explanation:

your answer would be “dry”
