Like Y-DNA STRs, autosomal STRs are counts of repeated genetic code. As autosomal DNA recombines each generation, the number of markers shared with a specific ancestor is reduced by half each generation.
Heroin acts as a lipid soluble âprodrugâ within the brain, meaning that heroin itself is inactive but it is metabolized into an active form within the body.
