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.

The Earth's axis has a 23.5 degree tilt.

Explanation:

The Earth axis of rotation is tilted to 23.5 degrees which is relatively to the orbital plane, this lead to differences in seasons of the places on Earth at a particular time. The angles varies overtime but moon gravitational pull prevent it from shifting more than a degree. There is different in seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere because at a time one part of it exposed to the Ray's of sunlight than the other which lead how the Earth's revolve round it's axis.
