<span>If a woman at 24 weeks gestation period has had a rupture of membranes (breaking of the amniotic sac) along with maternal fever, it is likely that she might have premature labor.
There is a high chance for infection since the open membranes harbor bacteria which can enter the womb. Also, the loss of water (amniotic fluid) can affect the growth of the lungs and the body formation of the fetus.
The first step after reaching the hospital will be to check if there is a PROM (premature rupture of membranes) and if the amniotic fluid is leaking from the vagina. For this, many tests can be performed like the Sterile speculum exam, Nitrazine test, Pooling test etc. An Ultrasound is also performed, along with other Immune-chromatological tests.
If the PROM is positive, it is likely that the baby, weighing almost 750 gms, will be delivered within the next 24 hours.

A normal IV bag contains a saline solution. This means that it contains water mixed with sodium chloride though sometimes it may be water mixed with dextrose. Both of these are additives used to normalize tonicity.
Tonicity is a measurement of osmotic pressure. What this means is that it measures how likely it is for water to be drawn to it and is based on the concentration of solutes. There are 3 measurements for tonicity
- Hypertonic
- Hypotonic
- Isotonic
These measurements tell us whether water is likely to be drawn in, repelled, or not move at all. This will depend on the concentration of solutes and water on the inside and outside of a cell. If a patient is given normal water, the water will dissolve the solutes outside of a cell and cause a pressure gradient that will cause water to be drawn into a cell until it inevitably explodes. This death of the blood cells is known as hemolysis. To avoid this, additives like Dextrose or sodium chloride are added, to equalize tonicity.
Though dextrose is often used, the most common solution for an IV bag is the saline solution made from water and sodium chloride (salt). The addition of additives like salt or dextrose (a type of sugar) is important in order to normalize tonicity and avoid hemolysis.

Answer:
1/2
Explanation:
Assuming the gene is represented by the allele G (dominant), the alternate form (recessive) of the allele will be g.
A heterozygous pea plant will have the genotype Gg. During gamete formation, Gg will split into G and g gametes.
<em>The probaility that a gamete will contain the recessive allele for flower color is 1/2.</em>
Answer:
(A) A transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly where it connects to another plate boundary, either another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone.
(B) In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts, which eventually become rift valleys.
(C) A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Benioff Zone.
