About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

Sometimes the bonding is referred to as phosphodiester, but if you are looking at a single nucleotide the 'di'ester part doesn't come out, so what would you call it there?

covalent is right, phosphoester is too much detail for that 1 mark question

insight are frequently wrong... if in doubt... www.wolframalpha.com
