Transcription of two genes. (a) RNA polymerase moves from the 3â² end of the template strand, creating an RNA strand that grows in a 5â² â 3â² direction (because it must be antiparallel to the template strand).
The atoms in sugar do not form ions; instead, they share their electrons. The type of bond that forms from the sharing of electrons between the atoms of the table sugar is a covalent bond. Table sugar has a much more complex chemical structure than salt.
Yes, the sugar and phosphate that make up the DNA backbone are joined together with covalent bonds. These bonds are stronger than the hydrogen bonds which join the bases from different strands together.
