With the assumption that schmid-type metaphyseal chondrodysplasia is rare, is this type of dwarfism inherited as a dominant or recessive trait and why?

Answer and explanation;

-The nearly one-to-one ratio seen in the offspring suggests it is likely inherited as a dominant trait, with the dwarf parent being heterozygous for the dwarf allele along with the normal parent being homozygous for the normal allele.

-Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, Schmid type (MCDS) is a type of skeletal disorder in which there is abnormal bone formation at the end of the long bones (metaphyses).  MCDS is caused by a mutation in one of the collagen genes. The MCDS mutation is passed on in an autosomal dominant manner.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
