The creature that is being examined in this experiment is the now extinct Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a dinosaur that lived in Northwestern Africa about 95 million years ago.

FGFR2 gene mapped to chromosome 10q25 and 10q26 causes Apert syndrome. Saritha, Sumangala, Supriya & Kumar (2013), explained that the protein causes prolonged signaling, which promote the premature fusion of bones and sutures of the skull, it also is responsible for fusion of hands and feet bones. Most cases of Apert syndrome occur from a new mutation in the gene. It can also occur in cases where there is no family history of the disorder. Individuals with Apert syndrome can pass the disorder…

development. During development, the fetal bones are made up of cartilaginous tissue, which is like osseous tissue, except it is more flexible. The absence of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces makes it less dense. As development continues, the process of the depositing of calcium salts into the cartilaginous tissue occurs, and continues throughout their life. Ossification is the gradual replacement of cartilage and its intercellular substance by bone cells that are immature, and calcium…

One problem when you regain consciousness after a blow to the back of your skull is the throbbing pain that wakes up along with you.

as a disproportionately large head with a prominent forehead. Hands of people with ACH are often proportionally small with short fingers that can diverge into the shape of a trident. Internally, those with ACH can show shortness of the base of the skull with a small foreman magnum and a narrowing spinal canal throughout its length as well as a lower fifth lumbar vertebra which appears between the ilia. These features can often delay motor development milestones like walking as well as lead to…
