When a red blood cell is placed in water, the water molecules will enter the cell rapidly as a result of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which molecules moves through a cell permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to that of higher concentration.
The inside of the red blood cell is more concentrated than the water in which it is placed, so water will move into the cell via osmosis.
This will make the cell to swell up and to burst open.<span />
Answer: False
Explanation:
It depends on the genetic disorder. Genetic disorders have different modes of inheritance.
If the genetic disorder is autosomal recessive and the mother passes down the faulty gene while the father passes down the normal gene, the child will carry the faulty gene but it will not be expressed.
If the genetic disorder is autosomal dominant and the mother passes down the faulty gene while the father passes down a normal copy of the gene, the gene will be expressed since it is dominant.
If the mode of inheritance is sex-linked, if a mother passes down a faulty gene to her son he will express the faulty gene. The sex chromosomes of males are XY while females are XX
The Y chromosome does not express genetic material because of its size. Since the son will only have one X chromose, he will most likely express any gene passed down. Whereas the daughter will only carry the gene since she has another X to mask the faulty gene.
