More polar solvents (eluents) move molecules more rapidly than less polar solvents. If you used a 1:1 hexanes:methanol mixture as solvent, would you expect the products to elute faster or slower? Based on your experiment, would a 1:1 hexanes:methanol mixture be a good choice as eluent? Explain why/why not.

The chemical bond connecting one nucleotide with the next one along the nucleic acid chain is called a
