Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many different Amino Acids are there?
A
15
B
20
C
22
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These polymers of amino acids are capable of producing the diversity seen in life. The 20 to 22 amino acids that comprise proteins include: Alanine. Arginine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. The nonessential amino acids are alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and serine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Roughly 500 amino acids have been identified in nature, but just 20 amino acids make up the proteins found in the human body. Let’s learn about all these 20 amino acids and the types of different amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are 22 amino acids that are found in proteins and of these, only 20 are specified by the universal genetic code. The others, selenocysteine and pyrrolysine use tRNAs that are able to base pair with stop codons in the mRNA during translation.
