Answer:

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.

Which form of natural selection on polygenic traits results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes? A. Directional selection
mojhsa [17]

Answer;

-Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes.

Explanation;

-Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. The make up of this type of population would show phenotypes of both extremes but have very few individuals in the middle.

-The variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups. The disruptive selection will cause organisms with intermediate traits to reproduce less, and will allow those organisms with extreme traits to reproduce more.
