Rickets is a disease of growing bones. Consequently, it usually is seen in young, weaned, growing pigs in which there is a deficiency, an imbalance, or a failure of utilization of calcium, phosphorous or vitamin D. Rickets usually is caused by a dietary deficiency of vitamin D or phosphorus. And Osteoporosis a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D. More than 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, but most do not realize that they have it.

One of the big differences is one occurs mostly to pigs and the other effects adults.Another difference is one occurs while the bones are growing and the other happens after the bones are already grown. I hope this helps!!!

These genes are regarded sex-linked as their expression and patterns of inheritance vary between the males and females. The sex linkage cannot be the same as genetic linkage, the sex-linked genes can be associated genetically.

Answer:the part of the brain that has most likely been damaged in this experiment is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) found in the hypothalamus of the brain.

Explanation:

circadian rhythms are behavioural changes that respond to light and darkness in an organisms environment. The sleep-inducing wake cycle is a good example of a circadian rhythm. In the experiment, the disruption of the mouse SCN led to development of imbalances in the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake cycle leading to falling asleep and waking up at random times of the day and night.
