Answer:

COOH (carboxyl group)

Explanation:

The amino acid backbone is common/ primary to all amino acids and the R-group is what makes each amino acid unique. The alpha-carbon is central and is connected to the amino group (NH3+), Carboxylic acid group (COOH), Hydrogen (H) which form the backbone and the R-group which differs in each amino acid.

I think you wrote this wrong? Is it not round rr vs wrinkled RR?? I'll answer it with that assumption:

You are crossing a rr with an RR:
You only get Rr back so they will phenotypically be all wrinkled

If you are crossing rr with an Rr (so a heterozygote wrinkled):
50% will be Rr (wrinkled)
50% will be rr (round)
