Question

26.) What is dwarfism and gigantism? How it occurs?​

Answer 1

Explanation

Dwarfism is generally the result of a genetic mutation. But having a gene or genes responsible for dwarfism can occur in a couple of ways. In some cases, it can happen spontaneously. You may not be born with mutated genes inherited from a parent.

Gigantism is a rare condition that causes abnormal growth in children. This change is most notable in terms of height, but girth is affected as well.

Gigantism occurs when child's pituitary gland makes too much growth hormone, which is also known as somatotropin.
