Expert Solution

In the photos plz consider wherever I have written phosphodiester bond is actually phosphodiester linkage. Sorry for incovenience

ANSWERS - 4) Phosphodiester linkage. B) Peptide bond

nucleotides of DNA are joined by a Phosphodiester linkage.

s, Explanation Whereas Amino groups care joinod by a Peptide bond to form a polypeptides.
