It depends upon the protein and also where the deletion of the single amino acid has occurred. Does ur alter or disrupt an important fundamental function or aspect of the protein such as the capability of substrates to bind to the active site, or is near a region that is primarily for developing the additional structure of the protein and is not as important. In most cases, a single amino acid change will not cause the protein to lose its complete function of be denatured.
The nitrogen is captured and converted into a form that is usable by plants in a process called

Answer:
C. disruptive natural selection
Explanation:
Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which extreme phenotypes are favored over intermediate phenotypes in a population. Environmental change is a major factor that can bring about disruptive selection. The individuals with the extreme phenotypes adapt well and are able to survive in the particular environment, while those individuals with intermediate phenotypes would hardly survive or be greatly reduced in number.
The gray rock outcrops and the brown soils of the Island favors the survival of mice with brown and gray fur color respectively. The fur colors of these two extreme phenotypes in the population of mice, have helped both varieties against Hawks as their main predators, hence establishing their existence on the Island.
