Why aren't there any cures for genetic disorders

Genetic disorders are caused by mutations in genes. These genes consist of DNA and are inherited by the organism by its parents. Genes code for specific amino acids, and they are so complex that we still do not completely comprehend the function of every gene in the human body so we cannot remove them in order to fix a disease. Moreover, every cell in an organism's body has the same genome (except the gametes) so it is not possible to delete the faulty gene from the cells.

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).

Butoxors [25]
RNA has great capability as a genetic molecule; it once had to carry on hereditary processes on its own. It now seems certain that RNA was the first molecule of heredity, so it evolved all the essential methods for storing and expressing genetic information before DNA came onto the scene.

Fed [463]

Answer:

These are the basic steps of urine formation.

Explanation:

The first step comprises creating a filtrate in the glomerulus.

During the second stage, the filtrate flows through the tubules, and useful substances are reabsorbed.

Waste products will then be secreted by the tubules.

Whereas, the final stage is the conservation of water that occurs in the renal tubule.

There are four major stages in the formation of urine.
