Answer:

Gene therapy

Explanation:

Gene therapy can be defined as the methodologies used to modify/restore the expression of target genes and thus cure and treat genetic disorders. Gene therapy approaches consist of delivering specific nucleic acids (either RNA or DNA) in the cells of the individual to be treated. Some of the most important gene therapy approaches include the use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in order to block target gene expression, adenovirus vectors to insert genes into host cells, the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system to insert specific sequences by the mechanism of homologous recombination, etc.

In 6-8 sentences, explain how stream volume and speed affect the size, shape, and flow of streams and rivers. please help me and

nikdorinn [45]

Explanation:

The speed of water in a stream is affected by the gradient of the geography. The steeper the geography the higher the speed of the water flow and the higher the erosion capacity of the stream. This means the stream will be narrow and deep. There is also less meandering of the stream.

When the gradient is less steep, the stream flow slows down and so does the erosion force it bears especially on the river bed. This therefore result in a higher horizontal erosion than vertical erosion. The steam becomes wide and shallow. The stream is also more likely to meander.

The volume of water in the stream also affects the size, shape, and flow of streams and rivers. A higher volume of water has more erosion power due to the weight of the water column. The stream is, therefore, more likely to be bigger in size than a stream that carries low water volume.

Vilka [71]

Answer: the correct option is C(communicate through sign language)

Explanation:

Chantek the orangutan is one of many nonhuman primates that scholars have used to draw conclusions about the origins of human language because they seem to be able to communicate through sign language. Taught by American anthropologists Lyn Miles and Ann Southcombe Channel the orangutan learnt how to communicate using that American sign language.
