5. The following reaction between fluoroacetamide and thiol usually does not occur as an organic reaction. However, researchers have made it work when they incorporated fluoroacetamide into a protein as a side chain of an unnatural amino acid, which then reacted with a cysteine residue of another protein when these two proteins formed a complex. (a) Explain why the given organic reaction does not work. (b) Explain why fluoroacetamide reacts with cysteine in the protein complex. The direct participation of other amino acid residues in the reaction is negligible

14) whenever diploid populations are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus a) the allele's frequency should not change from one generation to the next, but its representation in homozygous and heterozygous genotypes may change. b) natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift are acting equally to change an allele's frequency. c) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions. d) the population itself is not evolving, but individuals within the population may be evolving.
