This process is called deamination.

Deamination is the process (reaction) in which an amine group is removed from a molecule of amino acid. The enzymes that are involved in this reaction are called deaminases. Deamination can be used for energy(break down of amino acids), when there is too much protein intake. Amine group is converted to ammonia that is then converted to urea or uric acid in the urea cycle and at the end excreted through the urine.

In the human body, deamination occurs mostly in the liver (e.g. urea cycle), but also in the kidneys (deamination of glutamate).

Explanation:

In the body, there are joints named after the type of tissue attached to them and these joints are:

1. fibrous joints - these are connected with dense connected tissues and called immovable or fixed joints.

2.cartilaginous joints - these are joined by cartilage tissue. These joints are also not able to move freely.

Ivenika [448]
Anatomical and molecular features often fit a similar pattern due to Homology. Homology is the existence of shared ancestry between two structures or genes in a different species. 

A process that can cause this not to be the case is Convergent Evolution.
Convergent Evolution occurs when two unrelated species independently evolve similar traits to cope with evolutionary changes.

Mendel crossed two plants that were heterozygous for purple flower color. Which genotypes could he have used to represent the cr
ICE Princess25 [194]
The answer is two Pp genotypes.

If we imagine that plant has two alleles for the trait and if P represents dominant allele, and p represents recessive allele, then genotypes are:
PP - dominant homozygous, which contains both dominant alleles
pp - recessive homozygous, <span>which contains both recessive alleles</span>
Pp - heterozygous, which contains both dominant and recessive alleles
