Solution

Dwarfism:

  1. Dwarfism is a medical condition where an individual has low growth resulting in short stature.
  2. The insufficient release of the growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland causes dwarfism as the growth hormone is responsible for the body's normal growth.

Therefore, the cause of dwarfism is the under secretion of the growth hormone.
