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>

With regard to the functioning of the thyroid gland, which is an essential element for the manufacturing of thyroxine and triiod
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is- iodine

Explanation:

Thyroid glands is an important endocrine gland of the body which release hormone called thyroid hormone in the blood. It plays an important role in metabolism, brain development, and function, muscle control, etc.

The active form of thyroxine is triiodothyronine and the formation of thyroid hormone requires the availability of iodine. Four iodine atoms are present in thyroxine and 3 is present in triiodothyronine. Without iodine, they can not be produced.  

Therefore iodine is the essential element that is required for the manufacturing of thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
