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 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

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 ion channel protein and enables the full conversion of light into an electrical signal relayed to the brain.

Why is it difficult to avoid a tsunami?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It is difficult to avoid a tsunami due to it being such a large volume of water that is capable of destroying a large amount of land.

Explanation:

However, even though it is difficult to avoid a tsunami, as they are extremely difficult to predict, there are ways where one can begin to prepare before it hits. One of the ways you can do this is getting to a higher ground far away from inland, avoiding downed power lines, and steering clear of buildings or bridges where large, heavy objects could fall during an aftershock.

Tsunamis are incredibly dangerous, since there is a great chance that if you get caught in one, you can drown. Since tsunamis have little to no warning when they arrive, it is always essential to be prepared when one strikes.

I hope this helped! :)
