Summary Introduction

To determine:

A cell is a basic unit of life.

Introduction:

Every living organism consists of one or more cells. A cell is the “fundamental unit” of life. Cells have membrane-bound called cell membrane; it protects the organisms from the environment and other conditions. Also, this membrane encloses minerals, water, nutrients, and major organelles such as chloroplast, mitochondria, and DNA. Each organelle has a specific function. Cells make use of genetic information, as present in DNA, to produce proteins and these proteins activate the cells to achieve their functions. These are very important to each and every organism.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
