Answer:

The correct answer is that they would be lethargic and readily tire from exercise.

Explanation:

In glycolysis, the Phosphofructokinase (PFK) catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation to convert fructose-6-phosphate into fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and ADP.  it is one of the key regulatory of glycolysis which helps in producing energy. A PFK deficiency would make the afflicted dogs to  be lethargic and readily tire from exercise. This is because little or no energy is produced in the body.
