Chapter 11.7, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction

A cloning vector is a small piece of a genetic element, which is taken either from a plasmid or from a phage. In this cloning vector, the foreign DNA fragments can be inserted for cloning. It is a self-replicating vector and contains multiple restriction sites for the restriction endonucleases. It also contains a marker gene for detecting the presence of vector DNA in the host. Many numbers of genes of interest is produced using the cloning vector.

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.
