Answer:

osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited genetic disease that mainly affects the bones.  

Explanation:

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited genetic disease associated with alterations in collagen synthesis, which have been shown to increase the risk to suffer bone fractures. This genetic disorder is characterized by different health problems including, among others, fragile bones, reduced skeletal mass, skin hyperlaxity, malformations in the central nervous system, etc. Clinically, osteogenesis imperfecta must be managed by an interdisciplinary medical team, since patients may present a clinical picture ranging from mild to lethal. In the first place, it is imperative to provide health care to avoid fractures, exercises to maintain muscle mass, exercise to improve motor skills, skincare by specialized dermatologists, etc.

How were aristotle's and linnaeus classification systems different?
DanielleElmas [232]
Both Aristotle and Linnaeus classified animals and plants, considering where the species lived. However, Linnaeus delved further into classifying organisms looking at their morphology, with an ordered subset of the organism's class divided into five kingdoms: class, order, species, genus, and variety. The process of this classification is called Taxonomy, however, modern scholars also consider the evolutionary history of a species, in the classification process.

What hormone is responsible for stimulating the breakdown of liver glycogen and its release as glucose?
Lostsunrise [7]
The hormones that stimulate the breakdown of liver glycogen are epinephrine and glucagon. Epinephrine is the one that triggers the glycogen breakdown inside the muscle and also inside the liver. However, the liver is the one that is more active or responsive to the hormone called glucagon than the muscles. A glucagon is a hormone which is a polypeptide hidden by the cells of our pancreas called α cells whenever our blood-sugar is low. This hormone indicates the state of starving.

Suppose the DNA sequence for the first message in Part B began with TGT CGA instead of TGA CGA. Would the message change? Why or
alexgriva [62]
The message would change because each base has a specific pair that it bonds with. So the original strand's matching sequence would be (ACT GCT) if they were to change the last letter of the first set of 3 numbers, it would be (ACA GCT), and you can see there is a difference in the first sequence of bases. Hope this helps (:
