Step 1. Adipic acid, HOOC-(CH2)4-COOH, and hexamethylenediamine, H2N-(CH2)6-NH2, condense (eliminating water at each amide bond) to give nylon 6,6, repeating unit -[CO-(CH2)4-CO-NH-(CH2)6-NH]n-.

Step 2. Epsilon-aminocaproic acid (H2N-(CH2)5-COOH) and glycine (H2N-CH2-COOH) condense with each other through amide linkages, each amino acid's -NH2 reacting with the other's -COOH, to give the copolymer nylon 2-nylon 6, whose repeating chain alternates a glycine-derived - …
