Model: A protein in a mammal's eye helps detect dim light. If the protein is less sensitive, the animal needs brighter light to see well. Proteins influence traits because their functions affect how organs respond. Evidence: In a low-light maze, animals with normal protein sensitivity completed the maze in 30 seconds, while animals with reduced sensitivity took 90 seconds. In bright light, both groups took about 25 seconds. Which evidence best shows the protein affects the vision trait described in the model?
