Biology students used raw eggs in an experiment on tonicity and osmosis. the students put their eggs into vinegar to remove the shells. the vinegar was used to remove the shell from the raw egg. what other effect(s) did the vinegar have on the egg?

The vinegar solution is hypotonic. It has a higher concentration of water (about 96%) and some of its water will move through the egg’s membrane into the egg in order to balance the water concentration levels on both sides of the membrane. This will cause the egg to become bigger in size. This movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
