61. If tyrosine and isoleucine undergo condensation, the new bond that is formed is between the:
A) oxygen of the R group and the hydrogen of the amino group.
B) carbon of the R group and the nitrogen of the amino group.
C) carbon of the carboxyl group and the hydrogen of the R group.
D) carbon of the carboxyl group and the hydrogen of the amino group.

Answer: E) carbon of the carboxyl group and the nitrogen of the amino group.
Explanation:
tyrosine and isoleucine are amino acids.
When they are condensed, they form a peptide bond which occurs between the carbon of the carboxyl group and the nitrogen of the amino group (OPTION E).
