Which one of the following amino acid pairs are classified in the same group based on their side chain properties?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking which pair of amino acids share similar properties based on their side chains. This involves grouping amino acids based on chemical and physical characteristics.

More Information

Tyrosine and Threonine both have polar side chains due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, classifying them as polar, uncharged amino acids.

Tips

A common mistake is not understanding the side chain properties fully, such as confusing polar, charged vs uncharged.
