Answer: Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder affecting bone development that results in short-limb dwarfism. Achondroplasia is the most common form of short-limb dwarfism, a disorder in which bone tissue does not develop properly, especially the long bones of the arms and legs. brainliest???

Answer:

Achondroplasia is the most common form of skeletal dysplasia, occurring in about one in every 40,000 births. Achondroplasia impairs the growth of bone in the limbs and causes abnormal growth in the spine and skull.

Achondroplasia is caused by a gene alteration (mutation) in the FGFR3 gene. The FGFR3 gene makes a protein called fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 that is involved in converting cartilage to bone. FGFR3 is the only gene known to be associated with achondroplasia.

Achondroplasia appears to affect males and females in equal numbers. This disorder begins in the developing fetus and is one of the most common forms of skeletal dysplasia that causes dwarfism. The estimated frequency of achondroplasia has ranged from about one in 15,000 to one in 35,000 births.

Tpy6a [65]
The answer would be: <span>a. cooler temperatures 

</span>Increase in distance from the equator will reduce the amount of sunlight received, which will make the area have a cooler temperature. I<span>ncrease in elevation above sea level should make the air pressure lower as there is less air above the area.</span>

Which of these would be considered a transgenic organism? a human treated with insulin produced by E. coli bacteria a rat with r
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a rat with rabbit hemoglobin genes

Explanation:

When the genome of an organism is modified in the field of genetic engineering,by transplanting the gene(DNA) from one organisms to another,(by vectors) or alteration of the gene components,the resulting organism produced or formed is called Transgenic organism.

This process of genetic engineering makes use of recombination of genes to alter the genome of the transgenic organism.

Thus by transferring to  rat ( the DNA for Hb) as the  rabbit Hb,the gene( or genome) for producing Hb in tats has been modified by that of rabbit.Hence Rat is said to transgenic.

Besides animals crop plants are also genetically modified.Thus the genome of some crops are altered to resist herbicides and pesticides. Some species of rice (golden rice)have been  modified to  add certain  vitamins to improve the nutritional values.

Genetically modified bananas as edible vaccines are another example

He says ' I have no Class today 'turn in to indirect speech ​
Svetach [21]
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.
