    A nitrogenous base is linked to the pentose sugar through

    A)  hydrogen bond

    B)  glycosidic bond

    C)  phosphate diester bond

    D)  peptide bond

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     A nitrogenous base is linked to the pentose sugar through a N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside, such as aderaosine or deoxyadenosine, etc. When a phosphate group is linked to \[{{5}^{1}}\]?OH of a nucleoside through phosphoester linkage, a corresponding nucleotide is formed. Two nucleotides are linked through 3-5 phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide.
