Sulfa drugs like bactrim, given for bacterial infections, inhibit bacteria by blocking folic acid synthesis. the precursor molecule of folic acid is para-amino benzoic acid (paba). interestingly, paba has a structure very similar to a sulfa drug. if a sulfa drug is present, the bacterial enzyme will bind the sulfa drug because of structural similarity. this is an example of:

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?
