The <em>resources</em> are the sources from which we can derive benefits.
However, there are some resources which are only available in a limited amount and thus, we need to use them judiciously. This strategy of judicious use of resources is known as <em>conservation</em>.
The strategy of conservation aims to use the resources in such a way that we are able to efficiently use the resources in the present as well as in the future.
Thus, the strategy of conservation focuses on careful use of the resources.
The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
