Answer;

it will gain water and may burst

Explanation;Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from the region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are lowly concentrated through a semipermeable membrane.Hypotonic solution is a type of solution that has more solvent molecules in this case water and less solute molecules.When animal cells are placed in a hypotonic solution they gain water through osmosis and thus increases in size and since they lack cellulose cell wall they will burst, a process called haemolysis.

Answer from: wibi1963

The correct answer is -

it will gain water and may burst.

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is the one that contains higher concentration of solvent (such as water) as compared to solute concentration.

Water always moves from area of high to low concentration through osmosis.

Thus, if an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, it will gain water through osmosis, swell and may burst as they lack cell wall (unlike plant cell that have cell wall to prevent cell lysis due to osmosis).

Thus, first option is the right answer.

Answer from: Quest

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.

Answer from: Quest

the dna molecules have a negative charge because of the phosphate groups in their sugar-phosphate backbone, so they start moving through the matrix of the gel towards the positive pole. power is turned on and dna fragments migrate through gel (towards the positive electrode).

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.
