Summary Introduction

To determine:

The main function of an erythrocyte and in what ways an erythrocyte is designed to carry out its function efficiently.

Concept introduction:

Blood is a connective tissue, which flows from the heart through arteries and veins to all body parts. Whole blood consists of two elements - formed elements and plasma. Erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets are the formed elements of blood. Erythrocytes are the main component of formed element of blood, which is formed by the process of erythropoiesis.

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.
Design a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.
The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
