The cells in a sexually reproducing organism's body may be classified as somatic, those that do not participate in reproduction, and gametogenic cells, which participate in reproduction.
Somatic cells create genetically identical daughter cells through the process of mitosis. Therefore, this mutation will pass the mutation to its two daughter cells after mitosis.

How can a microscope be used to determine if a specimen is a living thing?
Bumek [7]
Microscopes are one of the laboratory tools used to maximize the visual acuity of a certain specimen, it maybe a living or non-living organism or object. Thus, microscopes are widely used in these laboratories to increase microscopic observation with entities that cannot be perceived thru the naked eye. However, for scientisits to determine such specimen is a living thing if there's a presence of cell. Cell cannot be viewed via the visual organs alone but with the microscope a living specimen can be discerned with its characteristics such as cellular structure, slight and fidgety movement and other particular details..

The diastolic blood pressure represents the?
Nesterboy [21]

The diastolic pressure refers the  two values are recorded during the measurement of blood pressure.It is the number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

Less then 80 are the normal diastolic blood pressure. Prehypertension which is indicaated by the blood pressure between 80 to 90. The first, systolic pressure, which represents the peak arterial pressure during systole. The second, that represent minimum arterial pressure during diastole.

the force the heart exerts on the walls of the arteries in between beats can be easily measured by the diastolic blood pressure .Diastolic blood pressure is mainly determined by the total arterial peripheral resistance which majorly influence  Arterial elastance and compliance.

If a swimmer cuts his foot on a seashell while wading in the ocean and bleeds into the seawater, his erythrocytes will shrink. W
Tom [10]

Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.

Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.

This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.

The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell
