Chapter 10.6, Problem 30BYGO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The root cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the normal function of dystrophin.
Introduction:
Muscular dystrophyis a cluster of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss ofmusclemass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes interfere with the production of proteins which required to make healthy muscles. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a most common type of disease of Muscular dystrophy. Dystrophin is one of a group of proteins that is responsible for strengthen muscle fibers and protect them from injury as muscles contract and relax.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
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.

The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation? The cell membranes are more resistant than normal. An isotonic solution had been added instead of water. A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water. Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet. The man had sickle-cell anaemia.arrow_forwardA sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis.
