The correct Answer is:
To determine the odd member among Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Lysine, and Phenylalanine, we need to analyze the properties of these amino acids. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Amino Acids**: - The amino acids in question are: - Valine (Val) - Leucine (Leu) - Isoleucine (Ile) - Lysine (Lys) - Phenylalanine (Phe) 2. **Classify the Amino Acids**: - Amino acids can be classified into three categories: - Neutral (non-polar) - Acidic (polar, negatively charged) - Basic (polar, positively charged) 3. **Determine the Classification**: - **Valine**: Neutral amino acid (non-polar) - **Leucine**: Neutral amino acid (non-polar) - **Isoleucine**: Neutral amino acid (non-polar) - **Lysine**: Basic amino acid (polar, positively charged) - **Phenylalanine**: Neutral amino acid (non-polar) 4. **Identify the Odd Member**: - From the classification, we see that Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, and Phenylalanine are neutral amino acids, while Lysine is a basic amino acid. - Therefore, Lysine is the only basic amino acid among the group. 5. **Conclusion**: - The odd member among Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Lysine, and Phenylalanine is **Lysine**.
