The answer is that a unicellular organism would swell and burst.

In a hypotonic solution <span>the </span>water concentration<span> of the cell's cytoplasm is </span>lower<span> then that of the hypotonic solution. If unicellular organism is exposed to a hypotonic solution, the water from the solution will enter the organism by the process called osmosis. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the organism. But, that water entering the cytoplasm of the cell will make pressure on the cell membrane. If the </span><span>excess water cannot be removed from the organism, it will swell and burst.</span>

2. Describe the problem that McClintock suggested Harriet Creighton solve.
harina [27]

Answer:

'Cross experiments done by Morgan, illustrating the X-inheritance link of a mutation Thomas Hunt Morgan moved intensely in a program of breeding and crossing miles of fruit flies at New York University in a room that was renamed the Fourth of the Flies. He tried to mutate the flies with various means (X-rays, centrifuges, etc.) .The fruit fly which has 4 pairs of chromosomes. One of those pairs was identified as containing X and Y sex chromosomes. He applied Mendelian principles in flies. Morgan's inheritance study demonstrated inheritance linked to sex, and is one of the first evidences that confirm the chromosomal theory of cross-based inheritance. In 1909, Morgan detected a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) with a strange mutation which he called "white eyes", due to the coloration of his eyes (contrary to normal, which is red). Analyzing this fly under the microscope Morgan discovered that it was a male, and could use it as a stallion so that he could observe how the new characteristic of white eyes would pass from generation to generation.All the offspring of this cross will have red eyes, which He made Morgan suspect that something strange had happened, since the color of the father's eyes could not have disappeared. He decided to take a couple of "daughters flies" and cross them together, just to see what happened. Morgan's surprise was very great, observing that among the "granddaughters" flies only males had white eyes. The problem then was to explain what had happened during the hereditary transmission for the color of the white eyes only the males possessed. .

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: in order from small intestine to the rectum: 1, 4, 2 and 3.

Explanation: Ascending colon; the colic valve(the ileocecal valve) is located at the bottom of the ascending colon. At the top of the ascending colon, the colon bends to the left, forming the right colic flexure called the hepatic flexure. The transverse colon begins after this flexure.

The transverse colon; is the longest and most movable part of the colon which runs across the abdomen from the ascending colon at the right colic flexure with a downward convexity to the descending colon, here it curves abruptly on itself under the lower end of the spleen to form left colic flexure called the splenic flexure.

Descending colon; it start from the splenic flexure to the beginning of the sigmoid colon. The descending colon stores the remnant of digested food that will be deposited into the rectum.

Sigmoid colon; also known as pelvic colo is the closest to the rectum, it is a passage by which digested food move into the rectum.
