Practice question
Question
The charge on a single-stranded nucleotide sequence with 'n' nucleotides is:
Explanation
-(n+1) is the scientifically accurate answer to this question. Within the study of DNA, this concept is well-established through extensive research and is documented in standard scientific literature. The specific properties, mechanisms, or characteristics of -(n+1) directly address what is being asked. Among the other options, -2(n+1), +n, and Phosphodiester bond stability do not correctly answer this question because they either refer to different concepts, describe properties of other molecules or processes, or represent common misconceptions about this topic.
