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.
1 Nucleotides can be connected to make nucleic acids. 2  The connection that forms between nucleotides is between the sugar of the first nucleotide and the phosphate group of the second. 3  Each connection between nucleotides is a covalent bond, so the nucleic acids have a covalently attached sugar-phosphate backbone.
