A TWO child average will not solve overpopulation. With a two child average per woman (or per man), total population would go up by about two billion more â to nine billion! â before it even levels off! And it would not decline below 8 billion for another 200 years!
Nucleic acids. Nucleotides can link together by the formation of phosphate ester bonds. The hydroxyl group of a phosphate on one nucleotide undergoes a condensation reaction with the hydroxyl group on the carbohydrate ring of another nucleotide. The process may continue, building up nucleic acid molecules. These are polymers called polynucleotides. Formation of a polynucleotide. Nucleic acids are the 'building blocks' of DNA and RNA. The structure of DNA. DNA is formed from two polynucleotide chains.
Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store, transmit and express the genetic information of a cell. There are two types of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). In most cells, DNA is the stored form of genetic information transmitted from one generation to the next. DNA is copied in a process called replication and transmitted to the daughter cells.
