2. What’s the risk factors of being
born with Anophthalmia?
Anophthalmia: being born with one or both with no
eyes
It is caused by “genetic mutations and abnormal
chromosomes.”
Another way of getting anophthalmia is that if you
had a family member it could be passed on from
generations
Humans are not the only ones that could get this
disease, animals too could get this.
5. There Is no treatment of
anophthlmia that could
restore vision
6. Even though if there’s no
treatment for this disease that
does not stop people from
doing stuff that others could
do.
7. Also if there’s no treatment for this disease and the people
don’t like how they look there is something called glass
eyes.
Glass eye is a artificial that does not give you vision
8. Standards
4c Students know how mutations in the DNA
sequence of a gene may or may not affect the
expression of the gene, or the sequence of amino
acids in an encoded protein.
4d Students know how specialization
of cells in multicellular organisms is
usually due to different patterns of
gene expression rather than to
differences in the genes themselves.
9. I chose the standard 4c because it said how mutations in
the DNA the gene could or may not express properly.
I chose the standard 4d because it also talks about how
the organisms uses different patterns of gene expression.
10. Different types of anophthalmia
There is different types of anophthalmia:
there is primary anophthalmia which means is a complete
absence of eye tissue due to a failure of the part of the brain
that forms the eye.
there is secondary anophthalmia occurs when the eye
starts to develop and for some reason stops, leaving the
infant with only residual eye tissue or extremely tiny eyes
which can only be seen under close examination.
11. Different types of anophthalmia
part 2
Degenerative anophthalmia: the eye started to form
and, for some reason, degenerated. One reason for this
occurring could be a lack of blood supply to the eye.
