Chromosomes occur in pairs (in most somatic cells) since one member of each pair comes from the mother and the other from the father. In most prokaryotes, the chromosome is usually a circular strand of DNA; hence, the entire genome is carried on only one chromosome.
Thus, an average diet of 1,900 calories per day would dictate an intake of 1,900 ml (approximately 64 ounces) of water. However, people interpreted this as a recommendation to drink 1,900 ml of pure water, forgetting the fact that water is also found in abundance in the other liquids and foods we consume.
Of course, water does have many amazing benefits. And the truth is, according to the Mayo Clinic, men should aim for 13 cups of water a day. Thatâs a mere three cups shy of a gallon. Even with a goal of 13 cups per day, most of us fall short of the mark. So letâs take this woman up on her challenge. I invite you to join me in this experiment. For the next 30 days, letâs commit to one gallon of water per day. To make this easy, Iâve purchased a gallon water jug from the market.
