Answer: Mammals can get entangled in the plastic, which can prevent them from swimming properly.

Plastic is a non-biodegradable waste, which is either disposed off in the water body either as urban waste or deposited by surface runoff. Being lighter in density it floats over the surface of water body deteriorating the quality of water and affecting the life of marine animals. The marine animals may avoid the cluster of plastics or may get entangled in it, which may result in the suffocating the lives of these animals and may lead to mortality.

Hence, on the basis of above description, mammals can get entangled in the plastic, which can prevent them from swimming properly is the immediate impact of floating plastic on marine mammals.

Answer:

Bioarchaeology is a discipline that studies human skeletal remains in an archaeological investigation; while forensic anthropology refers to the study of human skeletal remains in a criminal case  

Explanation:

Bioarchaeology is a discipline centered on the study of skeletal remains in order to obtain useful information about past societies/civilizations such as, for example, health conditions. On the other hand, forensic anthropology investigates human skeletal remains within a legal and/or criminal investigation. This information may result useful to identify a dead person, find the cause of death, and estimate time since death.

Similarities:

-Both disciplines have a strong biology background (especially in zoology)

-Both disciplines are focused on skeletal analysis

Differences:

-Bioarchaeology is associated with the anthropological study of human societies, while forensic anthropology associated with legal investigations
