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.

Due to this crossing over process that occurs in prophase I of meiosis, the alleles of a chromosomes are recombined to ensure genetic diversity. Hence, according to this question, crossing over results in additional genetic variation during meiosis because it allows the recombination of genetic information.
