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.

The medial cord is medial to the axillary artery and is formed by the ______ division of the inferior trunk; it contains portion
SpyIntel [72]

The medial cord is formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk.

It contains portions of nerves C8-T1.

             The medial cord is present in our neck and is a part of the brachial plexus. It is formed by the anterior division of the lower trunk. It is called the medial because it is medial to the axillary artery.

              The medial cord leads to the formation of the medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of the arm, and medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm.

               The nerves labeled as C refer to the nerves affecting the motor system in our neck and upper limb. Thus nerves from C8 work for the motor conventions of our upper limb and neck.

              The nerves labeled as T are spread over our chest, shoulders, and hands. Thus, the nerve T1 works in the upper part of our body.

Bacteria is a prime candidate for genetic engineering because of its ___________ and ____________?
N76 [4]

The given blanks can be filled with the ability to take up foreign DNA and express proteins faster.  

The direct manipulation of the genes of an organism with the application of biotechnology is known as genetic engineering. It is an array of technologies that are utilized to modify the genetic make-up of an organism, involving the transfer of genes across and within the boundaries of the species to generate novel or bettered organisms.  

In genetic engineering, bacteria play a key role, as it is an essential tool for natural scientists. The genes and other genetic information from a broad array of species can be administered into bacteria for modification and storage, thus producing genetically modified bacteria in the procedure.  

The bacteria possess the tendency to take up foreign DNA and expresses the desired proteins at a faster rate.

What type of stream valley forms in mountainous areas?
Alex73 [517]

The type of stream valley likely to form in a mountainous area is a V- shaped valley. This is a narrow valley that has a profile giving the impression of the letter V. This kind of valley is characterized by steeply sloping sides. It results from a stream eroding downward, a process referred to as downcutting. V - shaped valleys form in mountains or highland areas where streams are in their youthful stage and are flowing rapidly down steep slopes.
