Biology

sasho [114]2 years ago

Scientists used gene therapy to restore the sight of the dogs who suffer from inherited blindness.

Inherited blindness is identified as retinitis pigmentosa. It is the <span>progressive loss of both the rods and the cones photoreceptors in the retina from the edge of the retina to the centre, leading to worsening tunnel vision caused by the loss of peripheral sight

</span>A human gene that enabled cells in the retina to become sensitive to light is added into the retina cells. The scientists then inject a chemical called "photoswitch" in the eye. It attaches itself to the <span>ion channel protein and enables the full conversion of light into an electrical signal relayed to the brain.</span>

If cyanobacteria never evolved during earth's history, how would their absence affect the composition of earth's atmosphere?
Blababa [14]
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are found in vast quantities in fresh and salt water. Cyanobacteria are able to conduct photosynthesis. By utilising energy from the sun, they produce carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide. As a byproduct, they produce oxygen. So cyanobacteria provided oxygen to the atmosphere that allowed other lifeforms to develop.
