Answer:

It wil swell and burst

Explanation:

"pure" water is only H2O so there are no solutes, because of osmosis, water will enter the red blood cell that does contain solutes until the cell and the surrounding environment (in this case the water) are iso-osmotic, this will never happen though because the water contains no solutes.

Answer:

Hybridization - a method that unionizes gametes of differing genes to create a new individual

Recombinant DNA - cultured DNA molecules from different biological sources

Selective breeding - a process of breeding organisms because of their specific traits

Explanation:

In biology, hybridization is the process of creating a hybrid by combining gametes of different species or varieties. An example of a hybrid is a liger - an offspring of a lion and a tiger.

Recombinant DNA is DNA created in the process of genetic recombination. Genetic material from multiple sources is combined, creating sequences that do not occur in the genome naturally.

Selective breeding is the process of breeding organisms with desirable characteristics. For example, a good dog breeder will breed only two completely healthy dogs in order to make sure that the puppies don't have any health issues often associated with the breed.

Mula sa mapa ng Italya, ano ang mahihinuha dito?
Andru [333]
I... I didn't remember much
I just seen her dead in there...
It definitely stood out
I remember her smell and her touch
The way she used to talk to me
It all hurts so much now
How could I waste so much time on someone who doesn't even love me?
In the end all the time I spent, it's all pointless
Now I feel like I don't even wanna live anymore
Save me
