Solution
The correct option is A Nucleic acid The polymerization of the nucleotides is known as a condensation reaction. The condensation reaction occurs between 3' OH of the first nucleotide and 5' phosphate of the incoming nucleotide; with the elimination of the water molecule an ester bond is formed (Phosphoester bond). There are two phosphoester bonds present between the two nucleotides which is known as a phosphodiester bond. Phosphoesters are most commonly found in the body as phosphodiesters, meaning that instead of one of the alcohol groups, there is another O-R bond. Phosphodiesters are the bonds that link bases together to form nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).
Glycosidic bonds are present in the polysaccharides.
Peptides bonds are present in polypeptides.
