Hello I am Dwarfism or achondroplasia, I started in the FGFR3 gene. I am a gene inside of Tim.

When Tim was born he had me. When I was made I kept Tim’s trunk the same size as a normal baby but, I made all his limbs smaller.

It is easy to see when I am inside a person because not only is your trunk a normal size but I make the head normal to. Making his head look way bigger than his body

. You will notice that with Tim his fingers are further apart than usual, and yes sorry that was my fault. I am not a very nice gene, I will only let you be 4ft tall maximum, but that is only because I love short people!

People think I am a bad thing but honestly I do it just because small people are awesome!
Since Tim is unnaturally small he can go in the McDonald’s play place without being questioned. But then he is always questioned when he buys videogames or goes to a bar.
See I do have my ups and downs but I am always frowned upon.

When making the mutation story I asked myself, what are the good things about it, what are the bad? I asked myself well what gene did I start in? Where did the gene come from?
When I created this project I used government websites on this that was a new but I also used a citation machine for my recourses. That was not new for me.
When I searched the topic I first started with regular social media apps then progressed into more advanced websites. That is how I found out Dwarfism comes from gene FGFR3. Then I had to come up with ideas that would be probable real life situations such as going to the bar or McDonalds.
I used a website called the citation machine to cite my info using a APA style resource.
When making this project I noticed it was harder to do a project on something you did not at first want to do making it harder to start. At first I wanted to do the DEC 2 mutation then noticing it was taken I was forced to switch.
