What are the options?

Is this woman able to move at all?

If it were me, I would try to get her to move around if possible so that she isn't in bed all day getting sores. If she cant move, roll her over every once in a while in bed if possible.

If she is refusing to drink water and cant chew food well, maybe blend the food up, and add a little water? If she still refuses this, you may just have to make her as comfortable as possible and keep trying to give her food and liquids.

I am not a professional and I don't know the specific details of this situation but this is the best answer I can give with the little amount of info there is :/

Answer:

Mendel's law of dominance

Explanation:

A pea plant homozygous for purple flowers could have the genotype PP. A pea plant homozygous for white flowers could then have the genotype pp.

This means that all the offpsring have the genotype Pp, see the attached punnet square.

Because the P allele is dominant to the p allele, the plants have purple flowers. This is in agreement with Mendel's law of dominance. This states that for a dominant trait (following a cross of two different homozygous genotypes), hybrid offspring of the next generation will always express the dominant allele.

According to MyPlate, you should eat approximately two cups of vegetables per day. Please select the best answer from the choice
defon
False. You just need at least a cup of vegetable serving per day to get the enough vitamins and minerals from plant source. The other nutrients on your diet must involve equal portions of carbohydrates and proteins. These are necessary components of your diet that would help in energy production and in tissue repair.
