Summary Introduction

To review:

The definitions of agonists and antagonists.

Introduction:

The sympathetic nervous system releases neurotransmitters that bind with their specific receptors; there are various kinds of sympathetic receptors present that provide researchers a deep insight into the pharmacology world. These receptors help the researchers to design drugs that are most specific to the receptor type and its related organ.

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.
