<span>The deposition of heavy sediment can significantly diminish the water quality and aquatic habitat. The sentiment in the water can reduce the sunlight that reaches the floor of the waterway, affecting animal and plant life. For example, photosynthesis may be less effective due to the decreased sunlight and the gills of fish may get clogged from the sediment.</span>
The right answer is C) vector
In molecular biology and genetic engineering, vectors are DNA molecules that allow the propagation of sequences of interest. These are chimeric DNA molecules such as plasmids or artificial bacterial chromosomes, containing an origin of replication and one or more genetic markers. The origin of replication allows the maintenance of the vector in the target cell during generations.
