As water is hypotonic to cells, the blood cells, that is, in the absence of cell wall will continue to enlarge until they get burst. In case of a dehydrated patient, one hydrates them with the help of drip feed. If one is giving them hypertonic saline, it would be like consuming seawater, and the cells would dehydrate more as they would get into the bloodstream.  

In case, if one is administering them hypotonic saline, then the cells of the blood would absorb more water and get burst. Thus, there is a need to present the patient with isotonic saline drips.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer No 1:

The set up of the punnet square is shown in the attached diagram. As the alleles assort independently hence the gametes formed will be OT,Ot,OT,Ot and OT,Ot,oT,ot. These will be the outcomes of the possible gametes formed. When these gametes are cross bred, the results are shown in the diagram attached.

Answer No 2:

The outcomes of each possible genotype are:

OOTT = 2/16

OOTt = 4/16

OOtt = 2/16

Oott = 2/16

OoTT = 2/16

OoTt = 4/16

Answer No 3:

The likelihood of each possible offspring phenotype is:

Orange petals with tall stem  and orange petals  with small stems present in ratio 12:4 i.e. 3:1.
