Nylon 2-nylon 6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer which is biodegradable in nature.

The monomers used in the preparation of Nylon 2-nylon 6 are glycine (${\text{H}}_2\text{N}-{\text{CH}}_2-\text{COOH}$) which contains 2 carbon atoms, and $ϵ$-amino caproic acid (${\text{H}}_2\text{N}-({\text{CH}}_2{)}_5-\text{COOH}$) which contains 6 carbon atoms.

Answer: Glycine and $ϵ$ amino caproic acid
