When red blood cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, the higher effective osmotic pressure of the bathing solution compared with the intracellular fluid results in water moving down its osmotic gradient and a net movement of water out of the cell via osmosis (10).
Answer:
Some people may have a higher tendency to develop a certain type of cancer because they carry the gene mutation from their ancestors. For example, in case of women, inheriting a gene mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 puts her at a higher risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer.
Environmental agents such as smoking (tobacco), exposure to ultraviolet radiation, certain viruses, to name a few are responsible to the development of cancer in the human body. Overtime, any of these factors can cause irreversible damage to the DNA that could lead to cancer.
