The correct response is:
Changes in DNA can affect protein function.
This statement reflects the fundamental relationship between DNA and proteins, as mutations in DNA can alter the structure and function of proteins encoded by those genes.
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?
