(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which fibers get into the lysosome.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of particle or fiber accumulation on the lysosome.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for the death of silica-containing or asbestos-containing cells.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The fate of silica or asbestos fibers when silica-containing and asbestos-containing cells die. Also, determine that how the process of cell death remains continue even after the prevention of further exposure to silica dust or asbestos fibers.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The deposition of collagen nodules in the lungs of silicosis patients.

Introduction: Silicosis is a type of disease which occurs due to the ingestion of silica particles like glass or sand by macrophages cells present in the lungs. Asbestos is a disease which is caused due to the inhalation of asbestos fibers. Both types of particles are found in the lysosome.

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.
