Answer:

Deforestation

Climate Change

Invasive Species

Explanation:

Seventy percent of the Earth's plant and animals dwell in forests, and deforestation affects them directly. Once their habitat is lost, they are on their way to extinction.

Climate change also causes extinctions not only as a result of species intolerance to high temperature, but more commonly via a variety of related factors that alter a species’ interactions with other species.

Invasive species invade foreign territory. They use resources that the other species depend on. Then naturally one of the species will die off.

The most common way for a mutation to contribute to disease is by increasing the rate of DNA replication directing the formation
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A gene mutation refers to a permanent change in the sequence of DNA, which forms a gene, that is, the sequence varies from what is witnessed in the majority of the individuals. The mutations vary in size, they can influence anywhere from a base pair to a huge section of a chromosome, which comprises multiple genes.  

The mutations result in extreme modifications in a species if they modify the manner in which a protein functions. However, a mutation, which directs the formation of altered proteins or the unexpected amounts of proteins is the most general way by which a mutation contributes to disease.
