Answer;

C. carboxyl group

Explanation;

-Vinegar is a common household item containing acetic acid as well as some other chemicals.

-Acetic acid is an organic acid with the formula CH3-COOH. Its functional group is carboxylic acid group. Acetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid because it contains only one "COOH"group. It has a sour taste and pungent smell.

Answer:

          The correct option is C.

Explanation

Option A

              Amines are the organic compounds which contain amino functional groups (-NH2), i.e 1-Propamine (CH3-CH2-CH2-NH2). so this is incorrect option.


Option B

                 Phosphate group is present in group of organic compounds known as organic phosphates. they are involved in energy transfer reaction. the best example is ATP. This option is also incorrect.

Option C

               option C is correct because Acetic acid belongs to a group of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acid is characterized by the presence of carboxyl functional group  (-COOH).

Conclusion

                    it is concluded that acetic acid contains carboxyl group.

Now it is clear that genes are what carry our traits through generations and that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). But genes themselves don't do the actual work. Rather, they serve as instruction books for making functional molecules such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, which perform the chemical reactions in our bodies.Proteins do many other things, too. They provide the body's main building materials, forming the cell's architecture and structural components. But one thing proteins can't do is make copies of themselves. When a cell needs more proteins, it uses the manufacturing instructions coded in DNA.The DNA code of a gene—the sequence of its individual DNA building blocks, labeled A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine) and G (guanine) and collectively called nucleotides— spells out the exact order of a protein's building blocks, amino acids.

Occasionally, there is a kind of typographical error in a gene's DNA sequence. This mistake— which can be a change, gap or duplication—is called a mutation.
