a
The paramecium would not be able to get rid of excess water so the cell would shrivel

b
The paramecium would not be able to get rid of excess water so the cell would burst

c
The paramecium would not be able to take in water to neutralize the solutes inside the cell so the cells would shrivel

d
The paramecium would not be able to take in water to neutralize the solutes inside the cell so the cells would burst

The paramecium would not be able to get rid of excess water so the cell would burst.

FUNCTION OF THE CONTRACTILE VACUOLE:

  • The contractile vacuole is an organelle present in protist organisms like paramecium, amoeba etc.

  • The contractile vacuole functions to regulate water balance in the cells of organisms that they are found. Contractile vacuole performs this function by storing excess water and expelling the out of the cell.

  • Hence, if a disease affected a paramecium's contractile vacuoles, stopping the normal functioning of the vacuoles, the paramecium would not be able to get rid of excess water so the cell would burst.

What are Genes that produce alternative expressions of a trait called
Brrunno [24]
The answer should be allele(s).

Alleles are alternative forms of genes. For example in eye color, there is brown eye allele that produces brown eyes or blue eye alleles that produces blue eyes. 

However, note that there may be dominant or recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are always expressed, meanwhile, recessive allele is only expressed when there is no dominant allele existing. 

An example is let say brown eye allele is dominant and blue eye allele is recessive. The eye gene is controlled by 2 alleles. If I had one brown eye allele and 1 blue, my eyes will be brown, because brown eye allele is dominant.
