The answer is the smoking of crack cocaine. This drug is more simply known as<span> '</span>crack'<span>, and is widely considered the most addictive form of cocaine. Crack is widely used as a recreational drug, and was first widely used in US cities during the mid 1980s. The term 'crack epidemic' describes the rapid increase in its use and the resulting socio-economic problems that resulted.</span>

The constancy of the chromosome number from one cell generation to the next is maintained through.

vesna_86 [32]

Through mitosis, the number of chromosomes is kept constant from one cell generation to the next.

<h3>What occurs during mitosis?</h3>

A cell divides into two identical daughter cells after duplicating all of its components, including its chromosomes. Due to the importance of this procedure, specific genes carefully regulate each phase of mitosis. Health issues like cancer may develop when mitosis is improperly controlled.

<h3>How many phases of mitosis are there?</h3>

Prophase, pro metaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are these stages.

<h3>What function does mitosis serve?</h3>

Mitosis' purpose is to divide the genome so that the two daughter cells inherit an identical and equal number of chromosomes.

<h3>Where in the cell cycle does mitosis occur?</h3>

The mitotic phase, which consists of mitosis and cytokinesis and produces two daughter cells, begins after interphase. Despite the fact that the two processes frequently overlap, mitosis occurs before cytokinesis.

The pedigree below tracks the presence of dimples through a family's generation. Having dimples is an autosomal dominant trait.

yulyashka [42]

A pedigree is a representation of a family history tracking a trait. The graph shows the inheritance pattern of the trait and its expression through several generations.

<h3>What is an autosomal dominant trait?</h3>

The autosomal dominant trait is the characteristic that is coded by a gene located in an autosomal chromosome (this is, not a sexual chromosome).

This trait is dominant because it is coded by the dominant allele, meaning that the recessive allele codes for the absence of dimples. The presence of only one dominant allele in the genotype is enough for the idividual to express dimples.

<u> Genotype Phenotype </u>

DD, Homozygous dominant Dimples

Dd, Heterozygous Dimples

dd, Homozygous recessive No Dimples

<h3>What is a pedigree?</h3>

The pedigree is the representation of a family history conserning a certain trait. In this case, dimples.

The pedigree shows the expression -and inheritance pattern- of the trait through several generations.

To correctly interpret a pedigree, we need to know that

Family members

→ Individuals are represented with geometrical figures.

→ Males are squares

→ Females are circles

Trait/Phenotype

→ Healthy/normal/not affected individuals are represented with empty figures

→ Affected/mutated individuals are represented with solid black figures

Generations

→ Each file is represented with a roman number, indicating the Generation.

Here we will assume that

Individuals represented with solid figures express dimples -shaded individuals-. They can be either DD or Dd. This is because dimples is not usuall.

Individuals with no dimples are represented with empty figures and are dd.

According to the provided pedigree,

I-1 ⇒ man DD or Dd

I-2 ⇒ woman dd

II-1 ⇒ man Dd or DD

II-2 ⇒ woman dd

II - 5 ⇒ woman dd

III - 1 ⇒ man Dd

III- 2 ⇒ woman dd

III - 6 ⇒ woman dd

Since this pedigree does not specify the relationship between individuals, I can not answer the question based on it. So, I will attach another tree to specify genotypes.

I advise you study this new example, and then follow the same reasoning to choose the correct individual according to you pedigree.
