While observing your vegetable garden, you find the roots of the plants are covered with a fungal network. Some of
the vegetable plants are growing tall and healthy, but some
of the plants are healthy but not growing as tall. Explain
why the plant is growing tall and healthy.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

d. organisms have cells with different shapes and functions.
