Pituitary dwarfism is caused by problems arising from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a gland at the base of the brain that produces many different hormones. This gland is divided into the anterior (front) and posterior (back) halves. The anterior pituitary produces six hormones: growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin (corticotropin), thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin), prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, and lutenizing hormone. The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones: antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.
The growth process begins in the lower part of the forebrain in a small organ called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases hormones that regulate the production of other hormones. When the hypothalamus releases growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the anterior pituitary is stimulated to release growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone then acts on the liver and other tissues and stimulates them to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 directly promotes the development of bone and muscle, causing bones to grow in length, and muscles to increase protein synthesis (make more protein).
Since growth is a complex phenomenon, it may be slowed down or stopped by abnormalities arising at any point in the process. Thus, dwarfism can result if there is a deficiency in any of these hormones, if there is a failure in the receptor cells receiving the hormonal stimuli, or if the target cells are unable to respond.
At its most basic, pituitary dwarfism results from decreased production of hormones by the anterior pituitary. When none of the hormones of the anterior pituitary are adequately produced, this is called panhypopituitarism. A common form of pituitary dwarfism is due to deficiencies in the production of growth hormone (GH). When less GH than normal is produced during childhood, an individual's arms, legs, and other structures continue to develop in normal proportions, but at a decreased rate.

Answer:
Sugars and phosphates
Explanation:
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid.
The backbone is based on a repeated pattern of a sugar group (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group.
The image below shows one straightened-out strand of DNA with a backbone of alternating sugars and phosphates.
A is wrong. There is no ribose in DNA.
B is wrong. The nucleic acids A, C, G, and T join one strand of DNA to the other.
C is wrong. There is no RNA in DNA.
Cells are the basic building blocks of life, which can join together to form tissues, while different groups of tissues join together to form organs. These organs are then connected together to form organ systems, such as the digestive system, which includes the stomach, esophagus, intestines and other organs.

Answer:
What are the options and what are the different celestial bodies?
Explanation:
you can't expect someone to fully answer a question where they need more information to answer it in the first place> if you edit your answer, you should be able to add those needed pieces of information to the question!
that or you might get flagged for having a confusing or incomplete answer, i wouldn't do that i'm just warning you for future reference!
