The discovery of DNA, as well as understanding of its functioning and structure, may well be the most essential findings of the last century.  

The impact of the discovery of DNA on medical and scientific advancement has been huge, whether it involves the manufacturing and creation of drugs to cure the deadly diseases or to identify the genes, which stimulate several of the diseases.  

The understanding of DNA and its structural composition has led to the discovery of various technologies that helps in the fields like genetic testing, identifying viruses, crime investigation, production of genetically modified organisms, and various others.

Drinking alcohol can cause dehydration, which makes the blood hypertonic. Which option best describes the consequences of this h
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.

Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential)  compare with  the surrounding  plasma  and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.

Consequently,water with higher potential moves   from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).

Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,

The membranes of both b cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how
iragen [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>when the membranes are fused, the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell .</h2>

Explanation:

Cell membrane is composed of phospholipid bilayer . Cell membrane is hydrophilic at the surface of outside of the cell and inside surface of the cell thus both surface of cell membrane is a hydrophilic . Interiorly cell membrane is hydrophobic or nonpolar region because membrane composed of long fatty acid chain interiorly . Inner surface of cell membrane have no contact with water or polar molecules . When membrane binds to each other then the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell , while nonpolar parts of cell avoid water and create bilayer phospholipid where hydrophobic tails are in between the hydrophilic heads .
