Answer

           As we know that peptide bond is a type of bond present between amino acids, an is formed when one carboxyl group of one amino acid join with the amino group of another amino acids through the process of condensation and water is released in this process.

Types of peptides

Those peptide which consist of only one peptide bond and two amino acid is known as monopeptide. Dipeptide is composed of three amino acids and two peptide bond, while tripeptide is composed of four amino acids and three peptide bonds.

Hydrolysis

               it is a type of reaction in which polymers are broken down into monomers with the help of water.

If a protein molecule which is composed of only four amino acids, it means that they require three peptide bond for holding them in protein. so three peptide bonds are present in its structure. To break these bond they need just three water molecules.

Briefly explain how DNA profiling is used to identify individuals.
Ne4ueva [31]
A sample of DNA is taken from blood of saliva. PCR makes lots of copies, or amplifies the DNA. We then add restriction enzymes to cut the DNA at palindrome sequences. We then run the DNA through gel Elecrophoresis. Each person has unique short tandem repeats that cause a unique number of cuts by the restriction enzyme. These cuts are separated by size on gel electrophoresis, so no two people have the exact same pattern. We can compare individuals banding patterns to what is found at a crime scene, taken in previous samples, in a baby, and the sample that matches all the banding patterns will be the individual.

Which of the following continents was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene ice age?
s2008m [1.1K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The continent that was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene ice age. This is because the southern location of this nation made it much harder for ice to form, even during this time. Hope this answers the question.
