carbohydrates
|
|
|
lipids
|
|
|
proteins
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. The nucleic acids and proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mutations can result from errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens or a viral infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA and RNA are made up of monomers known as nucleotides. The nucleotides combine with each other to form a polynucleotide, DNA or RNA. Each nucleotide is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base, a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, and a phosphate group .
Detailed explanation-4: -The origins of life–the ‘protein interaction world’ hypothesis: protein interactions were the first form of self-reproducing life and nucleic acids evolved later as memory molecules.
