The order/sequence of amino acids joined by peptide bonds in a chain is the protein's primary structure. Correct option (a).

Protein structure has four levels:

  • Primary: the exact sequence/order of amino acids linked by peptide (amide) bonds in each chain.
  • Secondary: local folding into alpha-helix or beta-pleated sheet, held by hydrogen bonds.
  • Tertiary: overall 3-D folding of the whole chain.
  • Quaternary: assembly of two or more polypeptide sub-units. …
