Why aren't there any cures for genetic disorders

Biology
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]2 years ago
6 0
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.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The energy released in splitting just one atom is miniscule. However, when the nucleus is split under the right conditions, some stray neutrons are also released and these can then go on to split more atoms, releasing more energy and more neutrons, causing a chain reaction.

Ket [755]

Answer;

-Neurotransmitters.

One of the first key terms she memorizes is neurotransmitters because these are the chemicals via which neurons communicate with each other.

Explanation;

-Neurons communicate with each other via electrical events called 'action potentials' and chemical neurotransmitters. At the junction between two neurons (synapse), an action potential causes neuron A to release a chemical neurotransmitter.

-Neurons are connected to each other through synapses, sites where signals are transmitted in the form of chemical messengers.
