Answer:

The correct answer is e.

Explanation:

Zinc is an essential intracellular trace element most abundant in the human body, which participates in important structural and catalytic regulatory functions, it is an integral part of many tissues, being essential for the synthesis of biomolecules such as DNA and proteins, as well as for degradation of the same. The deficiencies of any nutrient may be due to a decrease in its intake, an increase in the body's needs and therefore, its requirements, or a decrease in the bioavailability of the nutrient due to the way in which it is found in food. Zinc deficiency causes multisystemic, sometimes fatal, manifestations if not detected and corrected early. Symptoms of severe zinc deficiency are slowing or disruption of growth and development, delayed sexual maturation, characteristic skin rashes, chronic and severe diarrhea, impaired immune system, poor wound healing, loss of appetite, decreased sensitivity to the touch, night blindness, inflammation, opacity of the corneas and behavioral problems.

The amino acids of a growing polypeptide chain are held together by what kind of bond during the elongation stage of translation
kifflom [539]

Answer: Peptide bond

Explanation: A peptide bond is the covalent chemical bond  bond that holds together two amino acids which occurs when the carboxylic group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, linking the two molecules and releasing a water molecule catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an RNA-based enzyme  integrated into the growing chain.

In the elongation stage ie when Long chain polypeptides are forming , peptide bonds  are formed by linking many amino acids to each other. These peptide bonds of amino acids are  relatively unstable, and  can break spontaneously in a slow process as can be seen especially  in enzymes of living organisms in the making and breaking of bonds.
