Nucleotides are joined with each other from the phosphate group of 1 nucleotide connecting in an ester linkage to the OH team on the 3rd carbon atom on the sugar unit of a next nucleotide. This device joins to a third nucleotide, as well as the process is repeated to make a long nucleic acid chain (Figure \(\PageIndex 4 \)). The angle of bonds inv
