Since crab are aquatic animals and thus when they are placed in freshwater, they do not get sufficient salt concentration to make themselves survive. The cells of the crab body (which was hyper tonic in salt water) will now become hypo tonic. Thus the osmo-regulation process will lower down thereby reducing the osmotic pressure as compared to the fluid outside. Also the distilled water lacks basic nutrients required for the crab and its family to survive.

The crabs are salt water organisms, so they'll have a higher concentration gradient than the distilled water. In other words, they're hypertonic to the distilled water. This will cause them to take on water and expand; their cells bursting.

How are vaccinated individuals protected against a virus?
aleksandrvk [35]
Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, does not cause illness, but it does cause the immune system to produce T-lymphocytes and antibodies. Sometimes, after getting a vaccine, the imitation infection can cause minor symptoms, such as fever. Such minor symptoms are normal and should be expected as the body builds immunity.

Explain two effects that the study of genes could have on the future.
adoni [48]
1) determine the probability of individuals inheriting a disease
2) In the future, new genetic mutations will arise, and knowing to understand genetics would be important in helping analyze the problem/mutation in genetic recombination.
3) Genetics allows us to link diseases to one another (pedigrees) by analyzing if they are recessive, dominant, and/or autosomal, this allows us, as scientists to be able to identify and classify future diseases, and to determine their inheritance pattern, in the future.
