No. The IV will be hypotonic compared to the cell cytoplasm causing the cells to explode. Because the IV doesn't have any other nutrients or constituents, it is less concentrated than the cell. The cell cytoplasm absorbs the water to try to adapt to this change, however the cell will eventually become swollen and explode.

Answer: option A - tumor-suppressor gene

Explanation:

A cancerous tissue is growing or spreading rapidly at a harmful rate. However, for a tissue to become cancerous, its "internal guard" usually known as a TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE must have lost or reduced its function.

This loss of function occurs after mutation.

So, definitely, all affected individuals with cancerous tissues have mutated tumour suppressor genes unlike unaffected individuals.

Note that other options are WRONG, because none of them accurately distinguishes affected from unaffected individuals
