The Amish population who migrated from Europe to the United States had very few individuals in their population. Additionally, t

heir gene pool shows very few alleles due to inbreeding. A genetic trait called polydactyly (having six fingers), which is rare in other populations, is common amongst them. What kind of evolutionary effect is exhibited in this example?
A. Mutation
B. Natural selection
C. Founder effect

The Amish have a genetic trait called polydactyly which is rare among other populations of people. This means that a person can 6 fingers, usually an extra thumb. This kind of evolutionary effect that is exhibited in this specific example is called the Founder effect. This happens when there is a small number of colonizing ancestors.

Answer:

Protein phosphorylation can activate/deactivate protein function, while small RNAs can be used for repressing translation of mRNAs through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway

Explanation:

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that acts to activate, inhibit, or reversibly switch on/off protein function. Protein phosphorylation confers a reversible and versatile process that cells use to transmit signals and respond to environmental stimuli. This PTM is well known to modify the tertiary structure of the protein and thus activate/inhibit protein functions such as, for example, signaling pathways associated with protein interactions. In consequence, protein phosphorylation can be used by a cell to regulate Brec activity. On the other hand, small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as, for example, microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), are regulatory molecules that bind by complementary base pairing to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in order to repress translation and/or trigger mRNA degradation through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The RNAi pathway is widely used in molecular biology to silence genes of interest (for example, in this case, the gene that encodes for the kinase D protein).
