Answer: Contractile vacuole of amoeba will shrink/contract when the organism is placed in sea water.
Contractile vacuole is a subcellular structure ( mainly found in protists) that is involved in the regulation of water quantity inside a cell.
As we know that water always flow from a hypotonic ( where solute concentration is less) to a hypertonic ( where solute concentration is more) solution. Sea water is a hypertonic solution as the concentration of salt is very high. Therefore, in this case, water will flow from contractile vacuole to outside of the organism.
Thus, contractile vacuole of amoeba will contract as it will lose water when placed in sea water.
The answer to that is James Watson and Francis Crick although if you search up on a search engine who found it Francis Crick will only show up.
Changing environments and competition for survival are the answer so D is the correct answer
