Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").
HOPE THOSE EXAMPLES HELP!!
Answer:
A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. ... Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary.

Highly porous and permeable
Explanation:
Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.
Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.
- Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
- Aquifers are highly porous .
- Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.
- Aquifers have very high permeability compared to other rock types.
In terms of permeability and porosity, an aquifer is higher porous and permeable.

Answer:
1) M1 is heterozygous since it contains 2 bands, which means that it contains one recessive and one dominant allele
P1 is homozygous for this locus, since it contains a single band or is known to be homozygous for the locus or gene.
P2 is hetozygous for this locus because two bands appear in which each band represents one allele for the gene.
ChildC contains two gel bands, representing two alleles and is therefore heterozygous
P1 is the father of the child C1, if we look at the gel, each father shows a similar band, one coinciding with the mother and the second with the father p1
As for the paternity study, the PCR test is not useful, since it provides asymmetric results, thus only one strand information will be provided, and because the DNA is double-stranded, a more complete study is required.:
