There are many types of dwarfism. If D is the autosomal dominant gene for acondroplasia a Dd heterozyote will be an acondroplastic dwarf. The homozygous DD individual dies shortly after birth due to considerable skeletal anomalies.
An antonym for "phenotype" is "genotype." While phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment, genotype specifically refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. Genotype determines the potential traits an organism can express, while phenotype is the actual expression of those traits.
yeah
A Heterozygous genotype means an organism that has both the dominant and the recessive gene.
An allele is an acquired trait which determines the phenotype and genotype of an organism.
Genotype is the alleles (different forms of a gene) which an individual has with respect to a particular characteristic. The Phenotype is how these genes are expressed in an individual.
it depends on which gender has dwarfism so if the women has dwarfism the she could have a baby that has dwarfism
Many inherited disorders in humans are controlled by a single gene. Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism. About one out of 25,000 people has achondroplasia. The homozygous dominant genotype causes death of the embryo, and therefore only heterozygotes, individuals with a single copy of the defective allele, have this disorder. This also mean that a person with achondroplasia has a 50% chance of passing the condition on to any children. Achondroplasia is a recessive allele.
There is no treatment for dwarfism. It is permanent.
You can tell if you have dwarfism if you are really small.
There are no good advantages on dwarfism or gigantism.
Yes. Dwarfism is a genetic disorder.
One in 10 thousand babies are born with Dwarfism. One in 10 thousand babies are born with Dwarfism.
Dwarfism is caused by a deficiency of growth hormone
It is fatal, but it matters of what kind of dwarfism.
Impossible to know. Dwarfism predates written history
I think it's genotype...
Yes, individuals with dwarfism can reproduce just like individuals without dwarfism. The likelihood of passing on the condition to their offspring can vary depending on the specific genetic cause of the dwarfism. It is possible for individuals with dwarfism to have children who do not have the condition.
