Answer to Question 1

The English alphabet has 26 letters from which an astonishing variety of words can be made. Some words are short, some are long. Some words contain just a few different letters, others contain many different letters. The same holds true for proteins made from the 20 amino acids found in the human body; some are short, some are long, and some contain a handful of different amino acids, whereas others may contain all 20 amino acids.
