An oil spill occurred in 1969 near the wild harbor salt marsh. researchers have found that several species of salt water marsh plants no longer grown in this are. what
is the most likely explanation for these results?

Impairment of photosynthesis

Explanation:

The major effect of oil spilage is that it impairs or hampers photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants manufactures their own food in the presence of sunlight and water.

Water is denser than oil. Therefore, oil floats on the surface of water. Oil on water surface acts as a blanket to sheild plants away from receiving direct sunlight. Sunlight is very important during photosynthesis.

In the absence of sunlight, plants are unable to manufacture their food.

They are also unable to receive carbon dioxide from the environment.

a

explanation:

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
