Answer:
c. A to K
Explanation:
If the alanine mutation is restored to K or lysine residue, most likely the wild type level of activity can be restored. This is because, arginine and lysine have -NH2 as the functional group. So, functional similarity of arginine can be expected from lysine as well.
Hence the correct option is c that is A to K.
No it is not because they cannot do anything without a living cell, like reproducing.
