Question 6 • CMS 2026-2027 Biology CREDIT RECOVERY

Where does a peptide bond form?

Answer
A
between the R group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid
B
between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid
C
between the nitrogenous base of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another nucleotide
D
between the five-carbon sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another nucleotide

Explanation

A peptide bond forms when the amino group of one amino acid joins to the carboxyl group of another amino acid. This links amino acids into a protein chain. The sugar-phosphate links in choices B and D are parts of nucleic acid backbones, not peptide bonds.
