Nucleic acids have a linear sequence of nucleotides that have ends, defined by the 3’ (three prime) hydroxyl and 5’ (five prime) phosphates of the sugar in the nucleotide. During nucleic acid synthesis, nucleotides are added to the 3’ end of the growing strand, resulting in the formation of covalent bonds between nucleotides.
