Q. What is cumulative selection?
a
Partially correct intermediates are retained in the process of folding, and while they decrease the number of intermediates the protein must transition through, they increase the time necessary for the protein to fold.
b
Partially correct intermediates are retained in the process of folding and decrease the time necessary for the protein to fold.
c
Incorrect intermediates are memorized by the folding machinery, preventing their reiteration and decreasing the time necessary for the protein to fold.
d
Natural selection has selected proteins that fold quickly and with a minimal number of intermediates.
