The backbone of the DNA strand is made from alternating phosphate and sugar residues. The sugar in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, which is a pentose (five-carbon) sugar. The sugars are joined together by phosphate groups that form phosphodiester bonds between the third and fifth carbon atoms of adjacent sugar rings.ranscription is carried out by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that copies the sequence of a DNA strand into RNA. To begin transcribing a gene, the RNA polymerase binds to a sequence of DNA called a promoter and separates the DNA strands.
Whitetail bucks can lose their antlers beginning as early as mid to late December. However, most bucks won't start to shed their antlers until late January or early February depending on where you are in the country. Some bucks will still have their antlers as late March.
Non-typical antlers are characterized by points growing at different angles in an asymmetrical fashion. A whitetail buck's inside antler spread typically measures between 3 and 25 inches. Age, diet and health are determining factors in the size, shape and color of the whitetail deer's antlers. Antler size and mass will continue to increase in bucks until they are 5 to 7 years of age. Bucks 7 years and older will typically re-grow antlers with increased mass but that are shorter year after year.
