It takes nine months for a human to be made during pregnancy in the mother's womb. The first step of making a human being is fertilization, which is when the father's sperm combines with the mother's egg. Then meiosis occurs. After meiosis the cell keeps growing and going through many steps, such as specialization and differentiation. During this process of making a human being many different things can occur, such as mutations. Not everyone undergoes a mutation, but some people do. Not all mutations are the same. These mutations also occur at different times during the nine month period. The first person in the video that had a genetic disorder was the model. She had epidermal dysplasia. Some of the symptoms are that her hair grows …show more content…

She was very tall for her age(7). Instead of getting one copy from her father, she got two which told her body to grow and grow. The extra gene over produces a hormone that tells her body to grow. Since her body kept growing, it put her at risk for cancer in her kidney. Eventually the risk of developing tumors decreases and is the same as with any other child her age. The third person in the video was Randy, a basketball player. He had situs inversus which only occurs in 1 out of 10 people. 19 days into his development, the doctors couldn't find his pulse. Eventually they discovered that his heart was in his right side and his liver was on the left side. During his development, the sylia didn't spin at all so his organs on the left went right and the ones on the right went left. He is very lucky because if only a few organs had switched, he would have had heart problems which could have led to death. In conclusion, many things can happen during the nine months that one is being made. Some people undergo mutations which make them different from other people. These mutations occur at different times during the nine during the nine months. With research scientists and doctors can come up with new ways to help these people and to help prevent others from undergoing the same thing. With modern technology and medicine these people were still able to live a normal life despite their genetic
