Peptide bonds are the basis of all proteins. There are 20 amino acids that can possibly be involved in a peptide bond, but they all happen in the same way.

Every amino acid has 2 crucial parts- the amino (NH3) group and the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.

To make a peptide bond, the amino group of one amino acid is joined with the carboxylic acid of another. One water molecule leaves (An H from the NH3 and an OH from the COOH come off, making H20). What you are left with is NH-CO in a bond.

So, looking at a protein chain, the peptide bond is always between the NH and the CO of 2 amino acids.

So basically, it forms in an amino group

To answer your question, yes, peptide bonds are what link the monomers of protein, amino acids, together. Amino acids consist of an -NH2 end and a -COOH end. Peptide bonds are the covalent bonds that link these two ends together. Proteins are compromised of long chains of amino acids called polypeptides. There are 20 known amino acids and the various sequences of these amino acids code for the various proteins needed for organismal survival.

They are located in polypeptides which are proteins. Proteins are located all over the human's body.

What kind of bonds join the amino acids in a polypeptide chain?

Well! Polypeptides are chain of amino-acids better known as proteins. Those amino-acids are join together by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form when two amino-acids undego the process of condensation reaction, or dehydration synthesis where a carboxyl group of one amino-acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid releasing water.
