If they are centrifuged and distilled water is added, they will burst immediately
The detergent was added because it breaks open the cells by destroying fatty membranes that enclose the cell, thus releasing the DNA into the solution.
it will shrivel up and die
The water from the cytoplasm within the red blood cell will move out of the cell into the environment and the cell itself will shrivel up.
A detergent would bring about the deterioration of cell integrity. This is because the cell's membrane consists of lipids and proteins. Most importantly, however, is that the cell membrane is spanned by a phospholipid bilayer and, according to the information given about the effect of detergent on lipids, the cell membrane would be destroyed since it is made up primarily of lipids.

The red blood cell will become turgid because water will move from the glucose solution to the red blood cell.
A 10% NaCl solution is hypertonic to a blood cell and would cause the cell to shrink, aka crenation.
The detergent broke down the cell membranes.

Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
The person will die.
blood cells die
The water will flow out of the cell into the hypertonic solution and the red blood cell will crenate (crush).
