Enzyme saturation is the term for the point at which an increase in the concentration gradient no longer speeds up the reaction rate

Explanation:

At this point, the rate of reaction does not increase with an increase in the concentration of the substrate. This is because all the active sites of the enzymes are occupied by substrate and the enzyme concentration subsequently becomes the limiting factor in the reaction. Therefore the only way to increase the rate of reaction is by increasing the concentration of the enzyme.

Mutations are rare and occur because of?

kodGreya [7K]

Mutations result from an error in DNA replication, should it be from an alien source (like radiation) or simply a mistake in replication. Migration of organisms to a new population would alter the DNA by adding new genes, but it would not mutate them.

The form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two genetically identical cells is Select one: a. binary fission. b. meiosis.

Vika [28.1K]

The form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two genetically identical cells is mitotic division.

<h3>WHAT IS MITOSIS?</h3>

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to one another.

Mitosis is employed by virtually all cells for replication purpose i.e. to produce more copies of the same type of cell.

Therefore, the form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two genetically identical cells is mitotic division.
