Biology
1 answer:
topjm [15]3 years ago
5 0
In marine environment, many animals confuse the plastic littering the oceans for food including sea turtles. Once in these animal bodies the plastic accumulates, and the chemicals can cause excess estrogen to be produced, which has led to discoveries of male fish with female sex organs. For sea turtles, the plastic blocks their digestive tract and the food that is trapped releases gases that render them buoyant, and unable to dive for food. The turtle was slowly starving because a single use plastic bag, which she had eaten, was blocking her digestive tract.

The plastic contains destructible and harmful agents that is not good for human and animals health.

Answer:

b) Forming zygots

Explanation:  

A zygote can be defined as a eukaryotic cell formed by the fusion of gametes during sexual reproduction. In general, a zygote is a diploid (2n) cell produced by the fusion of two haploid (n) gametic cells (eg., in mammals, sperm and egg cells). In multicellular organisms, the zygote is the first stage of development, which will give rise to an adult organism as it divides and grows. A zygote cell can be considered as a pluripotent stem cell because it differentiates into all cell types.
