How is Dwarfism inherited?

Is it autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked, or a chromosomal error?

There are many forms of dwarfism.

The inherited ones are inherited differently. Some are not inherited at all, and are acquired syndromes.

The most well known form - probably the type you are talking about is Achondroplasia ... or an Achondroplastic dwarf

Do your own damn homework.

Sign... look up Achondroplastic anemia.
