Summary Introduction

To determine:

How many amino acid differences occur between the following pairs:

rhesus and green monkeys,

Congo puffer fish and European flounder,

rhesus monkey and

Congo puffer fish

Also, analyze the evolutionary relationship among these 4 species.

Introduction:

Evolutionary relationships can be understood on the basis of the gene sequences. Since the replication machinery in biological organisms is very efficient and accurate, there is very less chance of change in the gene sequences. But during the course of evolution, these sequences may develop parity with each other and give rise to different organisms that are somehow closely related to each other as some genes remain conserved.

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.
