In a certain enzyme-catalyzed reaction the following steps occur:

1. A phosphate group on substrate A is transferred to a side chain of an active site residue of the enzyme.

2. The dephosphorylated form of substrate A dissociates from the enzyme.

3. Substrate B enters the active site and is phosphorylated with simultaneous regeneration of the enzyme in its original form.

Neutral alleles are those that do not alter fitness and average reproductive success does not differ between individuals that carry one neutral allele or the other. The frequencies of these neutral alleles may change in a population by
