Answer»

Solution :b i) The `-CO-NH-` bond formed b/w the `alpha` amino acids is called peptide bond (or) peptide LINKAGE
Hence hexapeptide contains five (5) peptide linkages
ii) General structure for the zwilter IONIC from of an `alpha` amino acids is
`R-overset(NH_(3)^(+))underset("|")underset("H ")underset("|")"C "-COO^(-)`
iii) DEFICIENCY of vitamin `B_(12)` CAUSE pernicious anemia.
