Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Glutamine is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and a side chain amide which replaces the side chain hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group, classifying it as a charge neutral, polar amino acid. The isoelectric point of glutamine is 5.65. Therefore, the assertion is correct and the reason is incorrect. So, the correct answer is option C.
