[D] The 3 polypeptide chains in Insulin are linked together by Hydrogen bonding.
- A [A] & [C]
- B [D]
- C [B]
- D [B] & [D]
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) [A] & [C]
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets. It is a globular protein composed of 51 amino acids. Therefore, statement [A] is correct. Insulin consists of two polypeptide chains, known as the A-chain and the B-chain. The A-chain contains 21…
