People with dwarfism do not live a normal life.
• False, people with dwarfism live just like dwarfism. The only problems they have are with growth hormones.

Achondroplasia is the only type of dwarfism.
• False, there are many other kinds such as Achondroplasia, Diastrophic Dysplasia, and Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasias

There is no cure to dwarfism.
• True; there is no cure, but there is treatment for most types of dwarfism

No one can be a carrier for dwarfism.
• True, because dwarfism is autosomal dominant.

Most dwarfism cases are caused by spontaneous genetic mutation in the egg
or sperm cell.• True; there are many causes, but most are
caused by genetic mutation in the egg or sperm cells

• Dwarfism is a condition characterized by short stature
![Page 13: Dwarfism Jeopardy](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55666ea7d8b42ad5798b4667/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 14: Dwarfism Jeopardy](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55666ea7d8b42ad5798b4667/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is the most common way dwarfism is passed on?
• Most are caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation in the egg or sperm cells prior to conception
![Page 15: Dwarfism Jeopardy](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55666ea7d8b42ad5798b4667/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How is dwarfism found before birth?
• Some types of dwarfism can be identified through prenatal testing if a doctor suspects a particular condition and tests for it.
![Page 16: Dwarfism Jeopardy](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55666ea7d8b42ad5798b4667/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How is dwarfism found after birth?
• The doctor makes a diagnosis based on the child's appearance, failure to grow, and X-rays of the bones
![Page 17: Dwarfism Jeopardy](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/55666ea7d8b42ad5798b4667/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

What does dominant mean in a cross for dwarfism?
• Dominant means that only one of the 2 chromosomes with the mutation is required to acquire dwarfism
• That means that there is a 50% chance that a child of someone with achondroplasia will also have it.

Is genetic mutations the only cause for dwarfism?
• No
• Chromosomal abnormalities, pituitary gland disorders (which influence growth and metabolism), absorptive problems (when the body can't absorb nutrients adequately), and kidney disease can all lead to short stature if a child fails to grow at a normal rate
