Answer:
C. placing cells in an environment with a lower solute concentration than that in the cells. 
Explanation:
In pathological or diagnostic laboratories, to perform the differential leukocytes count (DLC) or white blood cells (WBC) count which are granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes we should first lyse the erythorcytes or red blood cells (RBC) with RBC lysis buffer. When RBC's lysis occur then only WBC's remain in the solution. Then, we add the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution. By adding the hypotonic solution the cells will swell and increase in size. 
So, the researchers used the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution to increase the size of cells to differentiate between them. 
Note:
In hypotonic solution the cells are increased in size or swell. 
In hypertonic solution the cells are decrease in size or shrink. 
In Isotonic solution the cells size remain same as normal. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
This disorder is caused by a recessive allele, its inheritance is sex-linked.
Explanation:
The disorder affects boys born to unaffected parents, this means that at least one of them has to be a carrier of the allele which causes the disease. So, if the allele was dominant, it would express in parents and sons. But, in this case, only is expressed in sons, so it can´t be dominant. Moreover, this condition has a sex-linked inheritance because it is always seen in boys and never in girls. This happens due to boys only have an X chromosome, so if they inherit the recessive allele of the disease, they will express it. On the other hand, girls have two X chromosomes, so if they inherit one copy of the recessive allele, they will be carriers and they won't be affected.  
This disorder is never seen in females because they need to have two copies of the recessive allele. However, to have double copy, they should inherit one copy from their mothers and one copy of their fathers, but boys with the allele are affected and they die in early teens without having progeny.  Therefore, a girl can't have a "carrier-father", so they will never have two copies to express the disorder.

Answer:
The correct answer is "option a. it is likely it will pass to the offspring; option b. it is not very likely that it will pass to the offspring".
Explanation:
In order that a mutation could be passed to the offspring it is necessary that the affected DNA can be transmitted to the following generation. A single bacteria that contains a positive mutation in its DNA is likely to pass its mutation to the offspring since it multiples by binary fission. On the other hand, a skin cell most likely will not pass its mutation to the offspring since a skin cell is not involved in the organism reproduction, such as a sexual cell.
 
        
             
        
        
        
I don’t think it’s insane, it’s just how is humans are. I don’t think it’s nice. I was very aware about the situation as a whole, bit it’s what people have been doing for years, like years and years. It’s kinda human nature
