just wondering... since homework section of the site is.. kinda empty, anybody know what CHNOPS stands for?

its a question on a lab assignment titled Simulating Protein Synthesis.

brief background on it... and yes, it is difficult to find, so i need a little bit of help.

CHNOPS is an organism whos cells contain only one chromosome and are members of the kingdom animalia. A CHNOPS chromosome is made up of six genes (A,B,C,D,E, and F), each of which is responsible for a certain trait.

You know when you chew food down, there are 22 amino acids and carbons and then sucrose. Look in your textbook after reading the first sentence I wrote. Should help you out.
