It hasn’t rained in several days and you have forgotten to water your fern. The roots sense a lack of water and produce the hormone abscisic acid. Abscisic acid triggers the guard cells to shrink. When the guard cells shrink, the stomatal pore closes and water loss decreases which inhibits the reproductive ability of the flower.

currents is the correct answer.

b - the respond is innate and varies over time.

good luck!

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.
