Options
A.UUA-valine
B.AM-lysine
C.AUG-cysteine
D.CCC-alanine
Solution
Valine is one of 20 proteogenic amino acids. Its codons are GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG. Cysteine codons are UGU and UGC. With a thiol side chain, cysteine is classified as a hydrophillic amino acid. Alanine codons are GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG, It is classified as a non - polar amino acid .L-alanine is second only to leucine. Lysine conons are AAA and AAG.Lysine is a base, as are arginine and histidine.
