âIn normal development, the lips form during the seventh week of pregnancy and then the palate forms by week 12. Our study suggests this gene is required for lip formation early on and then again, later, for palate formation,â Moreno adds. Although the study suggests that FOXE1 abnormalities contribute to cleft lip and cleft palate, the researchers have not yet found the exact mutation in the gene that causes clefting. Instead, they have identified a variation in the genetic code that acts as a marker for the mutation.
Classical Antiquity in Greece was preceded by the Greek Dark Ages (c. 1200 â c. 800 BC), archaeologically characterised by the protogeometric and geometric styles of designs on pottery. Following the Dark Ages was the Archaic Period, beginning around the 8th century BC.
Best Answer: Ok.. the dark ages was the histroical time period where humans lived as barbarians and uncivilized without the use of tools before 10,000 B.C.E. (around that). The reason why it was called the dark age was because there was no written evidence/stories/history/events that occurred during the time. That means, we have no possible clue of what historically happened before 10,000 B.C.E. Klg.
