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.

How do genetic modification variations likely to differ from genetic sexual reproduction variations
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The  genetic modification variations result in the change in the genome of the organism. In this case, the variations result in expression of a trait in different form than usual. These variations results in genetic mutation, which can be inherited from one generation to another.

In sexual reproduction, the genome of the organism is not altered. In this only an exchange between the maternal and the maternal alleles takes place, these changes does not result in mutations.

You’re welcome :)
