Biology imparts knowledge about causative agents of various communicable and noncommunicable diseases, their mode of transmission, the life cycle of pathogens and vectors of various pathogens. All this information helps to avoid the tentative causes of diseases and to take preventive health care to alleviate the chances of infection. Even in the case of infection, proper food, isolation, medication and vaccination speed up the recovery. Development of vaccines against many diseases eradicated few ones while provided protection against others.

Whether it is possible for a native protein to be entirely irregular that is without α helices, β sheets, or other repetitive secondary structures. Concept introduction: Secondary structure is the formation of alpha helix and beta-pleated sheets. α helix is formed when the peptide bond (C=O) of the nth residue points toward the peptide N-H group of the (n+4)th residue along the helical axis. β sheets are formed when the hydrogen bonds between the parallel and anti-parallel strands of protein.

You have sequenced three different genes for the same set of taxa. Parsimony searches for each gene separately yield most parsimonious trees of length 72, 322, and 251 (sum = 645). You do a partition homogeneity test with 10 replicates, generating 10 random assignments of characters to the three partitions (of the same size as the original genes). The length of the three partitions for the randomized data partitions is shown in the table. 12. You have sequenced three different genes for the same set of taxa. Parsimony searches for each gene separately yield most parsimonious trees of length 72, 322, and 251 (sum = 645).

Should anything be read into the fact that partition A is always associated with a shorter tree than the other partitions? b. Does this small sample of random partitions tend to support or reject the hypothesis that the three genes have different evolutionary histories?
