Answer:
The organism is sterile because parts of the chromosomes in the zygote will only have a single set of chromosomes rather than the ideal pair. The arctic fox will produce gamates with 25 chromosomes (a single set) while the red fox will produce gametes with 19 chromosomes (another set). These gametes are supposed to fuse and have their chromosomes paired. However notice that the offspring will have (25 – 19) six (6) unpaired chromosomes. This means that during the formation of gametes in this hybrid offspring, there will be an issue in meiosis I which will result in nonviable gametes.
The most likely outcome is that the heavy metal pollutants will BIOACCUMULATE in the oysters. Bioaccumulation refers to the gradual accumulation of substances in living things.
Heavy metals include lead, cobalt, nickel, cadmium and mercury. These metals are highly toxic, thereby their bioaccumulation is dangerous for marine ecosystems and human health.
In this case, it is expected that heavy metals bioaccumulate in the internal organs of the oysters. Subsequently, these pollutants will also bioaccumulate in humans that eat contaminated oysters.
Heavy metals are highly toxic even at low concentrations, thereby their bioaccumulation is harmful to human health.
In humans, for example, it has been shown that the bioaccumulation of heavy metals affects the formation of blood cells.
