Solution
The correct option is A Serine-cysteine-tyrosine-methionine Only few amino acids contain sulphur in their structure. They are cysteine and methionine. When the bacterial cells are allowed to grow in the medium for 48 hours, the radioactive sulphur will be incorporated in the tetra-peptide sequence containing cysteine and methionine.
