A Correct answer
Explanation

The one-letter amino acid code uses N for asparagine (asparagine - asparaginic acid + amine) and Q for glutamine (glutamine sounds like Q). D and E represent aspartate and glutamate respectively, while C and M are cysteine and methionine. The one-letter system was developed for efficient sequence notation.
