Answer:
The correct answer is option e. "result in permanent activation of Ras".
Explanation:
Ras function is regulated by the GTP/GDP cycling rate, in a way that Ras is inhibited by the substrate GDP. Once Ras hydrolyzes GTP, GDP is produced and Ras is inhibited by GDP. A mutation that inhibits Ras from hydrolyzing GTP, would lock Ras in a permanently activated state because no GDP would be produced and there will be no substrate to inhibit Ras.
