Chapter 12, Problem 2.2Q
Summary Introduction

To find: The size of the genome in the given bacterium in terms of the protein-coding gene.

Introduction: In bacteria, the protein-coding gene contains a promoter, coding sequence for the protein and a terminator. The promoter specifies the position from where transcription is initiated. The coding sequence contains coding information for the polypeptide chain. The terminator specifies the position where the mRNA transcript ends.

Summary Introduction

To find: The size of the core genome in the given bacterium.

Introduction: The genes that are present in all strains of a species are known as core gene. The core genome depicts the genes present in all strains of a specific species. The core genome includes the genes for the cell envelope or other regulatory functions.

Summary Introduction

To describe: The size of pan-genome in the given bacterium

Introduction: The pan genome includes all genes and genetic variation present within a specific species. The pan-genome of a species includes core genes that are present in all strains and redundant genes that provide a selective benefit under specific conditions.

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.
