Most of the time they are formed from trauma
From childhood or even as adults such as PTSD, tic disorders, bipolar disorders,etc

Treatment can be medications or even alot of the times therapy, some disorders you can be stuck with while some also can go away with age

For example derealization disorder is something I’ve struggled with for years and sometimes fades away it really depends for most people

What is a genetic disease?

Abnormalities in an individual's genetic makeup cause genetic disease.

A genetic disease is any disease caused by an abnormality in the genetic makeup of an individual. The genetic abnormality can range from minuscule to major -- from a discrete mutation in a single base in the DNA of a single gene to a gross chromosomal abnormality involving the addition or subtraction of an entire chromosome or set of chromosomes. Some people inherit genetic disorders from the parents, while acquired changes or mutations in a preexisting gene or group of genes cause other genetic diseases. Genetic mutations can occur either randomly or due to some environmental exposure.

What are the four types of genetic disorders (inherited)?

There are a number of different types of genetic disorders (inherited) and include:

Single gene inheritance

Multifactorial inheritance

Chromosome abnormalities

Mitochondrial inheritance

7 single gene inheritance disorders

Single gene inheritance is also called Mendelian or monogenetic inheritance. Changes or mutations that occur in the DNA sequence of a single gene cause this type of inheritance. There are thousands of known single-gene disorders. These disorders are known as monogenetic disorders (disorders of a single gene).

Single-gene disorders have different patterns of genetic inheritance, including

autosomal dominant inheritance, in which only one copy of a defective gene (from either parent) is necessary to cause the condition;

autosomal recessive inheritance, in which two copies of a defective gene (one from each parent) are necessary to cause the condition; and

X-linked inheritance, in which the defective gene is present on the female, or X-chromosome. X-linked inheritance may be dominant or recessive.

Some examples of single-gene disorders include

cystic fibrosis,

alpha- and beta-thalassemias,

sickle cell anemia (sickle cell disease),

Marfan syndrome,

fragile X syndrome,

Huntington's disease, and

hemochromatosis.

Approximately how many total ATP equivalents are generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citri

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

C. 10 ATP molecules

Explanation:

In the citric acid cycle is a series of eight reactions steps in which a two-carbon molecule, acetyl-CoA, enters the cycle through citrate and two atoms of carbon are removed as two molecules of carbon dioxide.

The energy generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citric acid cycle is conserved in the production of three NADH molecules, one FADH₂ and one ATP molecule. Each NADH molecule transfers two electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain, forming 2.5 ATP molecules each in the process. Similarly, an FADH2 molecules transfers two electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain yielding 1.5 ATP molecules.

Total ATP molecules produced:

3 NADH + 1 FADH2 + 1 ATP = (2.5 × 3) + (1.5 × 1) + 1 ATP = 10 ATP molecules

Therefore, 10 ATP molecules are generated by the complete oxidation of one molecule of acetyl CoA via the citric acid cycle.

belka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is NUTRIENT CONTENT CLAIM .

Explanation

In markets you have seen a lot of fast food items which are labelled with tag in which nutrients composition along with their quantity in gram is also mentioned. It tells about the nutrients variety and their quantity. This is a nutrient content claim.

Why animals depends mainly on green plants for food explain

Zinaida [17]

Plants give animals the food and shelter they need. Herbivores, which are plant eating animals, rely on plants to provide them with a regular source of food. They also provide shelter to may animals, both large and small.
