Red blood cells will swell and burst.
The reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma are so well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells neither lose nor gain water and so they remain intact.
However distilled water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.
Answer:
A new mutation
Explanation:
A mutation refers to the random changes in the DNA of organisms. A mutation changes the allele and genotype frequencies by the introduction of a new allele in the gene pool.
However, mutations are not the major factor responsible for changes in the gene pool of a population as mutations are rare. The rate of mutations is very slow and does not allow it to serve as a major factor to change the allele and genotype frequencies.
MRNA carries a transcript of the needed amino acids to tRNA and then to the rRNA ribosomal component.
Answer:
Subpolar low. Subpolar lows: semi-permanent cyclone where surface midlatitude southwesterlies converge with the polar northeasterlies. Subpolar lows, the Aleutian low over the North Pacific Ocean and the Icelandic low over the North Atlantic , are well-developed in winter, but weaken or disappear in summer.
Answer:
Well, <u>ecosystem stability</u> is the ability of an environment to sustain a stable condition, even after the occurrence of stress or disturbance, while <u>biodiversity</u> is the diversity of life through all the various stages of biological organization on this planet.
