Protein folding is determined by a variety of factors, from the amino acid composition all the way through to primary, secondary and tertiary structures of the proteins. Proteins fold in water environments, and how they fold is determined by the hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and charge of amino acids. Amino acids that are hydrophobic will face away from water environments, while hydrophilic amino acids will face towards water environments. This gives rise to primary and secondary structures such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Among these are a variety of structures that form the tertiary structures. The different types of amino acids play an essential role in this, as they are the building blocks of proteins and can affect the structures of proteins because of their charge and affinity for water.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

<u>Allopatric speciation</u> is the gradual emergence of two or more species as a result of the geographic separation of two or more groups of animals of the same species.

Explanation:

Speciation is the gradual process by which populations evolve in different species. It is understood by allopatric speciation, that gradual speciation that occurs due to geographical isolation between biological populations of the same species. During this speciation, a population is divided by some geographical barrier, when populations are physically isolated due to geographical barriers (rivers, mountains, among others), the genetic flow between them is interrupted and over time different races will evolve that will become in different species.
