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.

Volgvan

Answer:

CENTROMERE

Explanation:

The CENTROMERE is the primary constriction region where the identical DNA molecules are most tightly bonded to each other during mitosis and meiosis.

The typical chromosome in metaphase is composed of two sister chromatids joined by the centromere.

Surrounding the centromere, we can find the kinetochores. These are laminar proteinic structures forming a plate where the spindle and kinetochore fibers will join during chromatids separation.

The position of the centromere defines the chromosomes as acrocentric, metacentric, or submetacentric.
