Introduction:

Distractions while driving are the main cause of many road accidents. It may be of visual, cognitive, or manual origin. Distracted driving is reckless, unsafe, and the results can be disturbing. Distractions include talking on a call, texting, eating, and reading, using a navigation system or putting on makeup.

Explanation of Solution

Texting while driving is one such distraction, which is considered riskier because it consists of visual, cognitive, and manual involvement. It is the most common type of distraction. The National Highway Transport Safety Authority endorses not to use cell phones except in case of an emergency while driving.

The National Transport Safety Board handed out a strongly worded declaration to the states of the United States advising them to ban texting while driving. It is up to the states to enforce the law and penalize such offenders.

The 44 states prohibit texting while driving and have exceptional restraints on cell phone use by drivers with learner’s permit or under a certain age. Fourteen states restrict all the driver use of cell phone while driving. Texting while driving is not a primary offence in five states out of 44 states and in one state drivers under age of below 21 are prohibited from texting.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that it is not fair, that in some states to ban texting while driving applies to drivers under a certain age group, that is, age below 21 years. Texting can distract anyone irrespective of their age, sex, and physical condition.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
