Scientists develop a genetically modified plant species that has a nonfunctional protein. The protein is necessary for the plant to use nitrogen. The species has a single mutation in a gene.
What does this tell us about the relationship between DNA and proteins?
(1 point)
O Nitrogen is vital for plant species survival.
Proteins are not related to DNA.
O Changes in DNA can affect protein function.
Mutations in DNA are always harmful to organisms.
