I think the process is hydrolysis which would be a chemical reaction.
Mutation can cause instant adaptation while natural selection is the process by which adaptation occurs over a series of generations.
Answer: Aldolase
Explanation:
In the metabolism of glucose( glycolysis) phosphofructokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversation of fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This in turn is converted to pyruvate after various steps of enzymatic activity in the glycolytic pathway.
If phosphofructokinase experienced a mutation that interfered with substrate binding, the enzyme that is going to be most immediately impacted in terms of accessing substrate is the ALDOLASE.
Aldolase enzymes cleave fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to triose phosphates( glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxy-acetone phosphate) facilitating an increase in anaerobic production of ATP in muscle.
Therefore, the substrate for binding of aldolase, which is fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is lacking due to mutation of phosphofructokinase enzyme.
The promise of jobs and prosperity, among other factors, pulls people to cities. Half of the global population already lives in cities, and by 2050 two-thirds of the world's people are expected to live in urban areas. But in cities two of the most pressing problems facing the world today also come together: poverty and environmental degradation.
