The dehydration is a very common problem seen in elderly individuals. At an elderly age, all the body functions are diminished, which lead to reduction in thirst and body's ability to obtain water. That is why, the elderly people are very susceptible to dehydration.

In order to remain healthy, a person must take 2.5- 4 litres of water per day. In males, the water is required more than females. So, for males, the adequate intake (AI) of water should be in between 3-4 litres per day.

Why would it be important to know the possible genotypic and phenotypic ratios of different genetic crosses?
OleMash [197]
It’s important to know the possible genotypic and phenotypic ratios of different genetic crosses because the the phenotype shows what the offspring will physically look like what the genotype is what genes the offspring carries. phenotype doesn’t always show what alleles the offspring carries because if the offspring is heterozygous for the gene only the dominant allele shows and the recessive allele won’t be visible. the genotype can see what alleles the offspring carries, both dominant and recessive. knowing the genotype helps to know what alleles are passed on. if one of the parents have a genetic mutation that is passed on, the phenotype helps see what ration of offsprings will have the mutation visible and the genotype will help see what ratio of offsprings will pass on the allele for the mutation

yarga [219]

Answer:

I have identified <em>Escherichia coli </em>and<em> Bacillus sp.</em>

Explanation:

I obtained my sample from soil, in a park near my house. The common bacteria on soil are gram positive and gram negative.

I found rods, and some are gram positive and long. They others are gram negative and very small and short.

The color of the gram positive is a dark blue, almost purple, and they are big and abundant, they are almost in lines, so I think they are a species of <em>Bacillus.</em>

The gram negative bacteria are extremely small and they look hot pink. They are very probably enterobacteria, and the most common enterobacteria is <em>Escherichia coli</em>. They do not have a particular order of arrangement.
