c disaccharide is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides are joined by glycosidic linkage. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.Lactose, the disaccharide of milk, consists of galactose joined to glucose by a $\beta-1,4$-glycosidic linkage. Lactose is hydrolyzed to these monosaccharides by lactase in human beings

A short peptide on complete hydrolysis produces $3$ moles of glycine $(G)$, two moles of leucine $(L)$ and two moles of valine $(V)$ per mole of peptide. The number of peptide linkages in it are $..............$.
Assertion : Treatment of $D-$ glucose with dilute alkali affords an equilibrium mixture consisting of $D-$ mannose, $D-$ fructose and starting substance $D-$ glucose.
Reason : The reaction involves an intermediate in which hybridisation of $C_2$ changes from $sp^3$ to $sp^2$
