Answer:

CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG

Explanation:

Changes occur in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule. These changes referred to as MUTATION are usually due mistakes during DNA replication or induced by mutagens (mutation-causing substances). Mutation can be of different types depending on the kind of change that occured to the nucleotide sequence. Based on this question, one of the mutation types is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION.

Substitution mutation is a kind of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base replaces another in the sequence.

The option that suits an example of substitution mutation is: CAT - GGC - TAC mutates to CAT - GGC - TAG because Guanine nucleotide replaces Cytosine nucleotide in the third CODON i.e. TAC becomes TAG.

Which of the following is an example of direct economic value of biodiversity?

Answer: detoxify and decompose waste

Explanation:

Billions of tonnes of organic waste is processed every year by earth’s decomposing organisms. Industrial waste including detergents, oils, acids and paper are also detoxified and decomposed by the activities of living things. Well you could say that bacteria, algae and worms break down organic materials and release essential nutrients to plants. The Nitrogen Cycle is a good example. And there are many flowering plants rely on the activities of various animal species – bees, butterflies, bats and birds to help them reproduce through the transportation of pollen. More than one third of humanity’s food crops depend on this process of natural pollination.

And if Crop pests are controlled by organisms such as insects, birds and fungi, which are a much better form of pesticide than chemical pesticides that can harm plant and water sources yes your answer is detoxify and decompose waste. (:
