A peptide bond forms between
A)a tRNA and an mRNA.
B)adjacent amino acids.
C)an mRNA and an rRNA.
D)a gene and a protein.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed between two adjacent amino acids during protein synthesis. This bond is formed through a dehydration reaction between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the other amino acid. Option A is incorrect because tRNA and mRNA do not form peptide bonds. Option C is incorrect because mRNA and rRNA do not form peptide bonds. Option D is incorrect because a gene is a sequence of DNA and does not form peptide bonds directly.
