Q.

Two nucleotides are joined together by a linkage known as:                 [2024]

1 Peptide linkage  
2 Glycosidic linkage  
3 Disulphide linkage  
4 Phosphodiester linkage  

Ans.

(4)

Nucleotides are joined together by phosphodiester link between 5' and 3' carbon atom of the pentose sugar. Phosphoric acid is involved in the formation of this linkage.
