Question:medium

Match the amino acid given in List-I with their one-letter code given in List-II 
\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Name of amino acid} & \textbf{One-letter code} \\ \hline (A) \; \text{Lysine} & (I) \; W \\ \hline (B) \; \text{Tryptophan} & (II) \; Q \\ \hline (C) \; \text{Tyrosine} & (III) \; K \\ \hline (D) \; \text{Glutamine} & (IV) \; Y \\ \hline \end{array} \]

Show Hint

  • (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV)
  • (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
  • (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Amino Acid Code Mapping
Amino acids are represented by specific one-letter codes. The correct mappings are as follows:
Amino Acid to Code Correspondence
- Lysine (A) corresponds to the code K.
- Tryptophan (B) corresponds to the code W.
- Tyrosine (C) corresponds to the code Y.
- Glutamine (D) corresponds to the code Q.
Summary of Correct Matches
The established pairings are: (A) with (III), (B) with (I), (C) with (II), and (D) with (IV).
Final Designation: \[\boxed{\text{The correct answer is (2) (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV).}}\]
