Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Amino acids are made of a carboxyl group (Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen), an amino group (Nitrogen and two Hydrogen), and finally an R group which differs in each amino acid. That R group is what makes each amino acid different! They can also act as enzymes. Essentially enzymes act as biological catalysts and control the functions of the cell and build cells.

The correct answer is: The recessive allele produces a phenotype that is better able to survive and reproduce than the dominant phenotype.
