Having freckles (F) is dominant over not having freckles (f). A parent with freckles is crossed with a parent without freckles.

The Punnett square shows the possible genotypes of the offspring.

Answer:

This is a trick question, and only because the question is vague

Explanation:

Use a Punnet Square to figure out the percentages.

If the parent with freckles (let's just call them Parent A) is homozygous dominant, their genotype would be FF.  The parent without freckles (Parent B) has a genotype of ff.

In any situation, the probability of these two having a child that is homozygous dominant for freckles is 0%.  (see punnet squares for more info).  

Now here's where it gets a little more confusing because the question is kind of vague on this.

Assuming that Parent A is homozygous dominant (both genes for this are dominant (FF)), then the probability of having a heterozygous (non-identical genotype letters, meaning they carry the recessive trait) genotype is 100%.  However, if Parent A is also heterozygous, then that percentage decreases to 50%

For Situation A (Parent A is homozygous dominant), the probability of a homozygous recessive genotype is 0%

For Situation B (Parent A is heterozygous dominant), the probability of a homozygous recessive child is 50%.

Please see the Punnet square I made for more information.

Key:

- Homozygous Dominant: FF

- Heterozygous Dominant: Ff

- Homozygous Recessive: ff

(heterozygous recessive does not exist, because that would mean one of the genes is dominant, which would overpower the recessive gene)

I really hope this helps, and if you're confused by this, please do not hesitate to let me know!

The treatment phase for substance abuse generally consists of:
Schach [20]

Answer:

D. All of these are correct.

Explanation:

Depending on the institution, substance-abuse treatments may vary in regard to duration and phases. Generally, treatments for substance abuse consist of four phases:

  1. Initiation: This first stage focuses on providing helpful information to the person/patient about all treatments and options. <u>During this phase, the person goes through a process of </u><u>detoxification</u><u>, that is, preventing them from using the drug to remove their dependence.</u>
  2. Abstinence - first phase: This stage is one of the most difficult ones as the person usually exhibits a variety of emotions associated with depression, sadness, anxiety because of the withdrawal of the drug. <u>During this phase, they received psychological help to prevent any relapse and to </u><u>become more stable</u><u>, that is, to </u><u>control drug cravings.</u>
  3. Abstinence - second phase: This stage is focused on<u> maintaining abstinence and stability</u>. In conjunction with the second phase, this is also difficult but rewarding. The person receives behavioral therapy so he/she can acknowledge how the drug intake resulted in numerous issues and, in contrast, stopping its use can change her/his life in a diversity of positive ways.
  4. Aftercare: This stage focuses on long-term goals and, through therapy and counselling, <u>helps the person to </u><u>obtain education, find a job</u><u>, and </u><u>continue their stability and abstinence.</u>
