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.

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

answer: tributaries flow into rivers.

wetland is a biome that develops when the water gets accumulated in a land exhibiting a huge depression. these form either seasonally or permanently. the water in the wetland comes from rivers, lakes, ocean, flood, rain or other sources. the wetlands includes mangroves, marshes and peatland.

tributaries flow into the rivers develops a wetland because such water will get deposited in the depression and will restrict the original flow of tributary water. hence, water with low drainage current combines with the river water.
