Answer:
Accumulation of trace elements, especially heavy metals, in the soil has potential to restrict the soil's function, cause toxicity to plants, and contaminate the food chain.

<span>Jane should get genetic testing to find out if she is a carrier of the recessive allele. If she is not and the assumptions about the father hold true, then the probability of her child being a carrier or having the disease is zero.</span>
Answer:
D. Any or all of the above could be causing the problem.
Explanation:
Pollution has been said to have adverse effect on living organisms. In this question, a decrease in number of intertidal organisms has been observed. Since a major freeway runs along a stretch of the ocean shore, the most likely cause of the death of the intertidal organisms is the release of any form of toxic waste into the water body.
Oil pollutants causes death of living organisms by hindering the entrance of oxygen into the water body. It makes it difficult for oxygen, which is a requirement for life, to penetrate the water body. Hence, living organisms in the water body will suffocate and die.
Toxic wastes also causes the death of organisms when ingested in excess. Waste water causes deterioration in the oxygen content of the water body. Hence, any or all of the above options can likely cause the reduction in number of the intertidal organisms.
Primates are a group of mammals
including humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs and lorises. The physical adaptations
that all primates share are; a fairly generalized skeletal layout that can be
used for many different modes of locomotion, specialized forelimbs, hands and
feet, a larger brain especially the cerebral cortex, an omnivorous diet, stereoscopic
vision that helps in the perception of depth and measuring distance and a small
number of offspring at birth.
