B
20
C
25
D
30
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Of these 20 amino acids, nine amino acids are essential: Phenylalanine.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your body needs 20 different kinds of amino acids to function correctly. These 20 amino acids combine in different ways to make proteins in your body. Your body makes hundreds of amino acids, but it can’t make nine of the amino acids you need. These are called essential amino acids.
