A. the kelvin temperature scale
Answer:
The correct answer is A the compound is a competitive inhibitor
Explanation:
Competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate to bind to the active site of the target enzyme and after binding to the active site the inhibitor slow down or stop the reaction catalyzed by that enzyme.
Competitive inhibitor basically effects the Km value of the enzyme thus decreasing the activity of the later.
Increasing the substrate concentration displace the inhibitor from the enzyme"s active site thus reducing the inhibitory effects of the later thus increasing the activity of the enzyme.
The mutation was most likely the result of a change in the ability of the DNA replication.
<h3>How mutation occur?</h3>
Mutations result either from errors that occurs in DNA replication or caused by the mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and change the structures of individual nucleotides so we can conclude that the mutation was most likely the result of a change in the ability of the DNA replication.
