In 1986 a nuclear power accident in Chernobyl, USSR (now Ukraine), led to high radiation levels for miles surrounding the plant. The high levels of radiation caused elevated mutation rates in the surviving organisms, and evolutionary biologists have been studying rodent populations in the Chernobyl area ever since. Based on your understanding of evolutionary mechanisms, which of the following most likely occurred in the rodent populations following the accident?

Refer to this amino acid sequence to answer the question: Arginine-Alanine-Lysine-Leucine-Arginine-Arginine-Arginine-Lysine The overall characteristics of a polypeptide (hydrophobic/nonpolar, hydrophilic/polar, etc.) is generally caused by the sum of the characteristics of the amino acids in the polypeptide. For instance, if the majority of the amino acids in polypeptide are hydrophobic/nonpolar, the polypeptide will generally be hydrophobic/nonpolar in nature. Given this information, the polypeptide described above would most likely be ________. (Hint: Use the chart provided)
