Question
Chapter 15.5, Problem 3MM
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The consequences of taking several weeks to confirm a TB diagnosis, as opposed to 90 minutes.
Concept introduction:
The bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes tuberculosis and lungs are primarily infected by this bacterium. The TB bacteria can invade the other parts of the body apart from lungs, such as spine and the kidney. Not every person exposed to TB bacteria gets sick. There are two major medical conditions associated with TB bacteria, TB disease and latent TB infection.

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.

- Which ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The subunits are joined by disulphide bonds. Each subunit covalently binds a haem group. Conformational change in one subunit can be transmitted to another. There are many variant ("mutant") forms of haemoglobin that are not harmful.arrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.
