- C Cystine
- D Cysteine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Lysine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Hint : Amino acids are classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their molecule.
Step 1 : Definition of basic amino acids Basic amino acids are the amino acids which have more number of amino than carboxyl groups making it basic.
Step 2: Structures of given amino acids
