Explain how red blood cells become sickle-shaped . Sickle-cell anaemia

The abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become rigid, sticky and misshapen. Both mother and father must pass the defective form of the gene for a child to be affected. If only one parent passes the sickle cell gene to the child, that child will have the sickle cell trait.

Contractile vacuole is responsible for maintaining the homeostasis in paramecium.

Explanation:

The observation of this experiment is that contractile vacuole is responsible for maintaining the homeostasis in paramecium because the contractile vacuole regulates the quantity of water inside a cell. Contractile vacuole controls the water balance in the body by absorbing and removing the excess amount of water out of the cell. This function of contractile vacuole allows the cells to survive under hypotonic stress that is present in the pond water or any other stressful environment.
