Understand that the question is asking about the 21 standard amino acids that are incorporated into proteins during translation.
Recall that the 21 standard amino acids include the 20 common amino acids plus selenocysteine, which is sometimes referred to as the 21st amino acid.
Recognize that pyrrolysine is also considered a 22nd amino acid in some organisms, but it is not universally found in all proteins.
Identify that ornithine is not one of the standard amino acids incorporated into proteins. It is an intermediate in the urea cycle and not used in protein synthesis.
Histidine is one of the 21 standard amino acids, so it is not the correct answer to the question.
