Vedclass · Answer

(B) In the structure of a nucleic acid ($DNA$ or $RNA$),nucleotides are linked together to form a polynucleotide chain.Specifically,the $3'$-$OH$ group of the sugar of one nucleotide reacts with the $5'$-phosphate group of the adjacent nucleotide.This reaction results in the formation of a $3'-5'$ phosphodiester bond,which acts as the backbone of the nucleic acid strand.Therefore,the correct answer is the phosphodiester bond.
