The option which would most likely result in the greatest decrease in the rate of a chemical reaction is adding an enzyme inhibitor to a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme.
Enzyme inhibitor is known for slowing down any processes, especially when it comes to chemical reactions, so I'd say A is the correct answer.
Adaptations help the survival of a species as "It increases the biodiversity of the species".
<u>Answer:</u> Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
The phenomenon that support the organisms to find similar and favourable environment to acquire food, build home, satisfy with weather, feel safe and attract mates to produce more offspring in order to improve evolutionary fitness is called as an "Adaptation".
The three main forms of adaptations are behavioural, structural, and physiological adaptations that are based on the way how genetic variation get communicated. Many species have all those types of combinations. For an instance, behavioural adaptations are bird's calling and migration.
Most cells in the body are diploids, germ line diploid cells will undergo meiosis to produce gametes. Fertilization following, the gametophyte phase is haploid and the part of the life cycle in which gametes are produced by mitosis of haploid cells.
