Practice question
Question
What is the sugar–sugar linkage among the following in the 5’ cap on mRNA molecules?
Explanation
In molecular biology, nucleic acid structure and recombination dictates that hairpin formation, Holliday junction resolution and translation control ensure fidelity. Therefore 5’-5’ is correct as it matches molecular mechanisms, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
