Polypeptides fold rapidly by a stepwise process, how does the polypeptide chain arrive at its native conformation?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. proteins appear to fold in a hierarchical manner, with small local elements of structure forming and then to yield larger elements, which coalesce with other such elements to form yet larger elements and converted into its native conformation

  2. A protein-folding pathway has been highly successful in predicting the three-dimensional structure of small proteins from their amino acid sequence atleast 156 amino acid residue that have acquired their final structure

  3. Vander waal interaction play a significant role throughout the process, as the aggregation of nonpolar amino acid side chains provides an entropic stabilization to intermediates and, eventually, to the final folded structure

  4. The native conformation of the protein folding by stepwise manner such as unfolded→transition state→molten globule→folded conformation by decreasing the free energy

Imagine a plant of extremely variable height that is pollinated by three different pollinators, one that was attracted to short plants, another that preferred plants of medium height and a third that visited only the tallest plants. If the pollinator that preferred plants of medium height disappeared from an area. What is concluding of this condition?

The amount of change in q is directly proportional to the migration (m); The magnitude of change is also affected by the differences in allelic frequencies of the two populations (qI - qII); What is amount of change when 200 migratory individuals are merge in recipient population size of 1800. Allele frequency of q1 of source and recipient population is .80 and .20 respectively.

In balancing selection, two or more alleles are kept in balance, and therefore are maintained in a population over the course of many generations. Which of the following example can support balancing natural selection?

A- Sickle cell allele kept in balance because heterozygotes have greater chance of survival if infected by the malarial parasite, compared with normal homozygotes

B. One morph has selective advantage over another morph

C. One homozygote has greater chance of survival than other genotype results in purity of population

D. many species of invertebrates exist as different colored forms, identical in all respects except color. Visually searching predators often develop a search image for one color form, usually the commoner

Which of the best explanation of directional natural selection occur by change in environmental condition?

A. Increase in the frequency of dark-colored mutants in polluted areas, became known as industrial melanism

B. Numerous insect pests become resistant to insecticides and numerous bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

C. A plant that is too short may not be able to compete with other plants for sunlight. However, extremely tall plants may be more susceptible to wind damage

D- Beetles move into a new environment with patches of light-green moss and dark-green shrubs, both light and dark beetles might be better hidden (and survive better) than medium-green beetles
