A. Initiate fluid replacement therapy

Explanation:

Ketoacidosis occurs when the body fats are broken down rapidly by the liver to release ketones in the blood.

Excess of ketones in the blood makes it acidic and as a result the tissues get damaged and dehydrated.

In case it is left untreated it can be life threatening.

Ketoacidosis is generally observed in people with diabetes and this condition is often treated by administering insulin in the body.

However, the fluid replacement therapy should be the first step to treat this condition because, the body must not go into dehydrated state and the volume of fluid in body should be maintained to circulate insulin properly.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Chromosomes contain genes, which help to determine an organism's traits. Genes come in alternate forms called alleles. The actual gene combination that an organism receives from its parents is called its genotype, while the trait that gets expressed as a result is referred to as its phenotype. If an offspring receives the same type of allele for a given gene from each parent, it is said to be h o m o z y g o u s. If the alleles differ, it is h e t e r o z y g o u s.

Answer:

C low competition for glucose

Explanation:

From the given answer choices and information,

It cannot be A since there is no visual disease or any indication of disease in the experiment

Cannot be B, since space would not be an issue since it clearly hit 111 on day 3

and cannot be D since there is no indication of a change in temperature.
