1. Introduction • Main Idea: The primary goal of this project is to analyze the impact of DNA mutations by investigating the cause of achondroplasia. • Motivation: Achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism, significantly affects bone growth due to a specific gene mutation. • Background: Achondroplasia arises from a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene. This mutation leads to abnormal bone development, particularly in the long bones of the arms and legs. • Literature Review: Summarize relevant scientific literature related to achondroplasia. Discuss previous studies, genetic research, and clinical findings. Highlight key discoveries related to the FGFR3 gene and its role in bone growth regulation. • Project Overview: Describe the hands-on aspect of the project, where you will build a paper DNA model. Explain how this model will help you understand the genetic basis of achondroplasia. 2. Baseline Design • Baseline: The baseline design serves as t
