The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Biomolecules**: The question mentions specific biomolecules: dipeptides, lactose, maltose, and sucrose. These are all types of carbohydrates and proteins that need to be broken down into simpler forms for absorption. 2. **Understand the Digestion Process**: Digestion involves the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones. This process occurs in different parts of the digestive system, primarily in the stomach and small intestine. 3. **Locate the Small Intestine**: The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Each part plays a role in digestion and absorption. 4. **Focus on the Duodenum**: The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine and is where most chemical digestion occurs. It receives digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver, which are essential for breaking down biomolecules. 5. **Conclusion**: The breakdown of dipeptides, lactose, maltose, and sucrose primarily occurs in the duodenum of the small intestine. **Final Answer**: The breakdown of biomolecules such as dipeptides, lactose, maltose, and sucrose occurs mainly in the duodenum region of the small intestine. ---

Assertion : All expression vectors are cloning vectors and vise versa. Reason : Expression vectors have at least the regulatory sequences i.e., promotes, operators, ribosomal binding sites, etc having optimum function in the chosen control but not origin of replication.

Magnesium is a valuable, light weight metal used as a structural material as well as in alloys, batteries, and in chemical synthesis. Although magnesium is plentiful in Earth's crust, it is mainly found in the sea water (after sodium). There is about 1.3 g of magnesium in every kilogram of sea water. The process for obtaining magnesium from sea water employs all three types of reactions, i.e., precipitation, acid-base, and redox-reactions. Redox reaction takes place (in the extraction of Mg) :

The main group elements i.e. representative elements complete their electron configuration using s and p electrons in the periodic table. These elements range from the most metallic to the most non-metallic with intermediate properties, the semi-metals, in between .The elements which occur at the two extremes of the periodic table are highly reactive and therefore, these highly reactive elements do not occur in free state : they usually occur in the combined forms. Beryllium and aluminium exhibit many properties which are similar, but, the two elements differ in :
