Answer:

This replacements will make the compound less basic and more acidic

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacing amino groups (-NH₂) which act as bases [because of there ability to accept hydrogen ion (H⁺)] with carboxyl group (-COOH) which acts as acid [because of it's ability to donate hydrogen ion (H⁺)] in a compound changes the property of the compound to be less basic and more acidic.
