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.
The polymerization of nucleotides. The nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA, consist of polymers of nucleotides. The nucleotides are linked covalently between the 3' carbon atom of the pentose and the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon of the adjacent pentose.The figure on the right shows the polymer structure of DNA.Most intact DNA molecules are made up of two strands of polymer, forming a  double helix .he nucleotides are linked covalently between the 3' carbon atom of the pentose and the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon of the adjacent pentose.
