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)ResponsesProteins are not related to DNA. Proteins are not related to DNA. Changes in DNA can affect protein function.Changes in DNA can affect protein function.Nitrogen is vital for plant species survival. Nitrogen is vital for plant species survival.

Changes in DNA can affect protein function.

A single mutation in the gene altered the protein's sequence or structure, making it nonfunctional and preventing the plant from using nitrogen.
