There is one polypeptide chain in a single protein chain.
Polypeptides refer to short protein chains - for example insulin is a 53 amino acid protein and is considered a large polypeptide.
Complex multi-component [strand] protein coalescences exist - each uniquely identified component protein strand is called - of course - a subunit: two subunits is called a dimer, three subunits is called a trimer, four is a tetramer etc.
A Protein is a string of Pearls {Amino Acids} of which [out of the quadrillion possible] there are ONLY Twenty Biologically Active Types ( with two, sometimes three, more reserved for special occasions ).
A common example of a biological multi-strand protein grouping is: 4 strands will combine thusly - 2 strands of one type and 2 strands of another type.
Four polypeptide chains (2 heavy chains and 2 light chains) are present in an antibody molecule in its monomeric form.
None. The genetic code is in the nucleic acids, not the polypeptides.
Two or more polypeptide chains exist in the quaternary structure.
It could be two (a dimer), three (a trimer), four (a tetramer), or more.
Ribosomes synthesize protein.
Tertiary structure.
secondary stucture
Amino acids are the single units of which polypeptide chains, long chains of various amino acids, are constructed while the folding these polypeptide chains go through construct the mature protein.
Glycoproteins are proteins that contain oligochakarid chains (glycans) covalently attached to polypeptide side-chains. The carbohydrate is attached to the protein in a cotranslational.
A polypeptide chain is made up amino acids that form from a peptide bond. The polypeptide chain makes up a protein; therefore, the type of protein is contingent on the number of chains present.

Yes. Hemoglobin consists of four heme groups as well as a globin. Globin is a type of protein - proteins are made of polypeptide chains.
Proteins are complex molecules of amino acids.

Polypeptide chains, commonly called proteins
Protease in general. Pepsin in the stomach and trypsin in the small intestine in mammals break down protein into polypeptide chains and erepsin in the small intestine break down polypeptide chains into amino acids.
Amino acids are the single units of which polypeptide chains, long chains of various amino acids, are constructed while the folding these polypeptide chains go through construct the mature protein.
tRNA delivers the amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into [nacent polypeptide] protein chains.
