Q

development of the head and face

A

1) coordinated by TFs and signaling molecules

Q

gregor mendel

A

1) 1822-1884
2) law of uniformity
- two homozygotes with different alleles are crossed and produce same offspring in F1
2) law of segregation
- each characteristic is represented by two genes, only one which is transmitted at a time
3) law of independent assortment
- members of different gene pairs segregate to offspring independently of one another

- to deal with midface hypoplasia
4) eyes should be corrected as well
- closure for function
5) things need to be done at a certain time

35
Q

how will this help me with care an treatment of my patient

A

1) understand gene functions
- know which areas of the face will stay behind the others in growth
2) early intervention
- with distraction osteogenesis will prevent progression of dysmorphology due to slow growth of affected part and normal growth of other areas
