Sunken eyes.

Dehydration is a condition in which the rate at which the body looses t fluids is higher than the rate at which it takes fluids in.

It is caused by diarrhoea( watery stools )

2.Excessive sweating.

3 vomiting continusly.

4. No access to water intake

5.Polyuria(excessive urination)

6.Fever leading to hyperthermia.

The kidney is the main organ where the effect of dehydration is managed . As a result of increase in the solute potential of the blood,;the hypothalamus secrets ADH hormones which stimulates the Aquaporins(transmembrane proteins in the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubules) to open .Therefore water moves in by osmosis to reduce the higher solute potential of the blood. Therfore low volume,high concentrated urine is produced.

This homeostatic function of the kidney ensures balanced in the electrolyte fluids of the body to manage dehydration,before medical intervention.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Genetic mapping for unequivocal identification of the potentially causative mutation  

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) gene, which encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of galactose. Gene mapping is a technique widely used in genetics to identify the position of one locus a chromosome by using molecular markers to estimate genetic distances. Genetic mapping provides useful evidence in order to identify when a disease that is transmitted from parent to offspring can be associated with one or more genes and then determine which gene/s is/are responsible for this condition.
