Chapter 10.6, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction

Transformation is one of the processes of gene transfer in which the free DNA is transferred into the recipient cell and incorporates into the host chromosomes. This leads to the genetic transformation of the host chromosome. The species of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and some of the Archaea species are undergoing a natural transformation. The prokaryotes have a large DNA molecule so it breaks easily. The free DNA fragments no longer present in the cell, it could pour out. A typical transformable DNA fragment size is 1000 nucleotides.

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.
