C
Polypeptides
D
DNA and RNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. Etymology: Greek polýs (many) + peptide. Larger polypeptides or more than one polypeptide that occur together are referred to as proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polypeptides (PP) (proteins) are linear polymers of amino acids (H N–CHR–COOH, where R (bonded to the central C) is a variable side chain (“residue”) – there are 20 different natural ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins-polymers are known as polypeptides; monomers are amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polypeptides. The peptides contains more than 100 amino acid units is called as polypeptides. Example : Amalin, Glucagon.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Protein polymers are made up of 20 major types of amino acids. Amino acids are combinations of three DNA building blocks. Examples of protein polymers are haemoglobin, gelatin, enzymes and antibodies.
