<span>Trisomy is a condition in which a person's cells have three chromosomes in a single set. Normally, a person's chromosomes come in pairs and humans have 23 pairs of these chromosomes (46 in total).

When a person has a trisomy disorder, an additional chromosome is found in one of the pairs of chromosomes. When this happens the individual has a total of 47 chromosomes in his cells. Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, and Patau syndrome are the most common gene abnormalities caused by trisomy disorder.</span>

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>

Which adaptation makes bipedalism possible?
Natali [406]
<span>By walking on two feet, also since our morphological features, especially our eyes, hands and other parts are towards the frontal phase.
This is also an intellectual advantage for most humans since when we are upward we can better see our surroundings, seem bigger and taller, can detect preys and other mechanisms for survival.


Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.</span>
