Following the nuclear reactor accidents in japan in april, 2011, some people were exposed to high levels of radiation. children born to these people in the future could have mutations if these mutations occurred in the parents’

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.

the answer is d hope this

the right option is; decreased genetic variation  

decreased genetic variation describes the effect of this environmental change.

genetic variation is the naturally occurring genetic diversities or differences between organisms of the same species in a population. genetic variation allows the survival and adaptability of a species when they encounter changing environmental conditions. when an endangered species reduces, it loses genetic variation which may not be restored even if the species rebound and will only be recovered through the gradual collection of mutations over many years.
