Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) – 20

Proteins are assembled from a set of 20 amino acids.

Explanation:

  • There are 20 standard amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins.
  • The sequence of these amino acids determines the structure and function of a protein.
  • Each amino acid has a unique side chain, and the specific arrangement of these amino acids in a protein chain gives rise to its three-dimensional structure and functionality.
