You train hard for a sport, working out regularly and practicing, and over time you get better, gaining muscle, improving your cardiovascular and respiratory responses, and skill. Is this an example of evolution? Why or why not? Please explain in a paragraph, a minimum of 4-5 sentences. Copyright 2024 by Edmonds College Department of Biology. All rights reserved.

Protein R-group interactions include hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals interactions, covalent disulfide bonds, and ionic bonds. Which of these is individually the strongest, thereby providing the most stability to the resulting protein structure? Please answer based on the individual strength of the interaction, not the collective strength (since many interactions of one type could be stronger than a single interaction of another type).

Below are two common misconceptions about evolution by natural selection. Choose one of these two misconception and (1) explain why it is incorrect and (2) explain the correct evolutionary concept. Two common misconceptions (incorrect views) about evolution by natural selection: Individuals evolve Evolution leads to more complex organisms that are the best; humans, by this measure, are the most successful evolutionarily Please explain in a paragraph, a minimum of 4-5 sentences.

Mad cow disease results from a proteinaceous infectious particle, or a misfolded prion protein. The infectious prion catalyzes the misfolding of normal prions of our central nervous system into infectious forms, which then catalyze the misfolding of yet more normal prions. In this manner, prions spread in the brain until host death. Considering a classic definition of life (e.g., as provided by our textbook), are prions alive?
