Vedclass · Answer

(A) Phenylalanine contains a benzyl side chain,which is hydrophobic and non-polar.Tyrosine contains a phenolic hydroxyl group attached to the benzene ring,which makes it polar and uncharged at physiological $pH$.Therefore,phenylalanine is an amino acid with a non-polar '$R$' group,and tyrosine is an amino acid with a polar and uncharged '$R$' group.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(1)$ Non-polar $R$ group	$(a)$ Tyrosine
$(2)$ Polar positive $R$ group	$(b)$ Glutamic acid
$(3)$ Polar negative $R$ group	$(c)$ Histidine
$(4)$ Polar uncharged $R$ group	$(d)$ Tryptophan
