Step-by-Step Solution
To determine the correct matching between the amino acids in List-I and the functional group tests for their side chains in List-II, we analyze the side chain structure of each amino acid:
-
A. Glutamine:
- Side chain:
- Functional Group: Primary Amide ()
- Specific Test: Primary amides undergo Hoffmann bromamide degradation (IV) when treated with and .
- Match:
-
B. Lysine:
- Side chain:
- Functional Group: Primary Amine ()
- Specific Test: Primary amines react with benzenesulfonyl chloride in Hinsberg's test (I) to form a sulfonamide soluble in alkali.
- Match:
-
C. Tyrosine:
- Side chain: (para-substituted phenol)
- Functional Group: Phenolic Hydroxyl group ()
- Specific Test: Phenols give a characteristic violet/colored complex with Neutral } \text{FeCl}_3\text{ test (II).
- Match:
-
D. Serine:
- Side chain:
- Functional Group: Aliphatic Alcoholic Hydroxyl group ()
- Specific Test: Alcoholic groups yield a red color solution with the Ceric ammonium nitrate test (III).
- Match:
Combining these matches, we get:
This corresponds to Option B.
