Answer:

The eggs will burst because water from the tank will flow into them

Explanation:

A hypotonic solution is a solution that contains less concentration of solutes in comparison with its external solution. OSMOSIS is the process by which water moves from a region of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to a region of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration) via a semi-permeable membrane.

According to this question, fertilized eggs of a sea urchin are placed in a hypotonic tank solution i.e. The eggs are hypertonic to the solution in the tank. Based on the osmotic principle, water will move from the tank solution (less solute/more water) into the egg (more solute/less water) via the membrane of the egg. This will eventually lead to the eggs BURSTING.

denpristay [2]
The Three (3) indications for Mechanical Soft Diet would be minimal chewing ability, dysphagia, and poorly fitted dentures. In addition, Mechanical Soft Diet can be functional to offer foods that have been mechanically altered in texture to entail minimal chewing, used for clients who have struggle chewing but can stand more variation in texture that a liquid diet offers and used for clients who have dental difficulties, operation of the head or neck, or dysphagia which involves swallowing assessment and may require condensed liquids if the client has swallowing problems.

Fish lay a large number of eggs, few of which are fertilized and very few of which hatch into young ones. Still fewer live to ma
vazorg [7]
The answer would be survival of the fittest.

This metaphor, "<em>survival of the fittest</em>," was used by Herbert Spencer to explain <em>natural selection. </em>It is sometimes also referred to as the survival for existence. This phrase came from the Dawinian theory of evolution where he explains that all species are capable of producing many offsprings. However, the survival of those offsprings depends on their ability to adapt to the risks and opportunities of the external environment. 
<em>
</em>This relates to your scenario in the sense that fish lay a lot of eggs in the beginning but not all of them would live to achieve maturity. This is because even as eggs, they have many predators and are exposed to other elements. The threat pushes on even if they are able to hatch and grow up.
