Nucleic acids are read from the 3' to the 5' end during transcription and translation. This means that the RNA or DNA polymerase reads the bases starting from the 3' end and moves towards the 5' end of the molecule.
No, not all bases contain oxygen. Bases are defined as substances that can accept protons (H+) in a chemical reaction. They can contain elements like nitrogen, carbon, or even metals.
No, not all bases contain hydroxide ions (OH-). Bases are substances that can accept protons (H+), and while some bases contain hydroxide ions, others, such as ammonia (NH3), can accept protons without the presence of hydroxide ions.
