Question 3. Nucleic Acid structure (4 marks). The diagram below shows a 2'-deoxyribose sugar, which together with a phosphate group \( \left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}{ }^{3}\right. \) - \( ) \) and either a purine or pyrimidine nitrogen-containing base forms a nucleotide. For each of the letters shown (A-E), number the carbons \( 1^{\prime} \) to S' \( ^{\prime} \) and then describe the role of each carbon (Is it attached to particular component? Is it involved in polymerisation etc) in a strand of DNA. You may draw on the diagram, enter text boxes or answer below.
