Answer:

Mitochondrial Disorder

Explanation:

The LHON stands for leber hereditary optic neuropathy is a type of mitochondrial disorder. The disorder is generally observed in young males. The mitochondrial disorder are transferred from mother to its progeny. The disorder causes retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the exons of RGCs to degenerate. The disorder causes sudden painless failure of vision. The disorder leads to loss of central vision, optic atropy and central scotoma.

The most of the individuals with LHON do not possess the signs of the disorder. The disorder is caused by mutation in maternal DNA, thus it is a type of mitochondrial disorder.

A small 21 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 3 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
astraxan [27]
The formula for finding the kinetic energy of an object is:
KE = 0.5MV^2,
Where:
M= Mass
V = Speed
From the information given above,
M = 21 kg
V = 3 m/s
KE = 0.5 * 21 * 9 = 94.5
Therefore, the canoe's kinetic energy is 94.5 J
