Answer:
Soil can become waterlogged. The water can cut off the air supply to the roots and to the organisms that live in the soil. If the roots do not receive enough oxygen, the plants will die because they rely on oxygen to complete photosynthesis.

If an A (Adenine) were swapped for a T (Thymine) it will lead to A TRANSVERSION TYPE OF POINT MUTATION.
Replacement of an A with a T is a transversion type of point mutation because in transversion the purine is replaced with a pyrimidine. Since in this case only one nucleotide is replaced, it is a point mutation.
