Answer:

The cell will shrink due to osmosis.

Explanation:

As in given question the salt concentration are much more inside the cell, than outside. In order to maintain equilibrium. the water inside the cell will start flowing outside in order to maintain equilibrium, causing shrinkage of cell. The ability of a cell to divide or function will reduce because of water loss. This phenomenon is seen in case of hypertonic solution. Water will start diffusing from the higher concentration to the lower concentration.

If the order of base pairs in a DNA molecule is changed, what might occur?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

When you change the order of the base pairs in an organism, that is called a mutation. There are three types of mutations: a deletion, an addition, and a substitution. In a deletion, one of the three bases in a codon is pulled out, or deleted.
