Summary Introduction

To explain:

The conclusions can be drawn about the genes that might be implicated in antibiotic resistance in these bacteria.

Introduction:

Antibiotic resistance causes growth of various strains of bacteria even after the addition of antibiotics. These strains secrete an enzyme beta-lactamase which degrades the antibiotic ring causing growth of bacteria in the culture media.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

How might this information be useful to design new antibiotics that are less vulnerable to resistance.

Introduction:

Antibiotics are the drugs which kill various strains of bacteria. These drugs inhibit the formation of peptidoglycan layer in bacteria or prevent the synthesis of ribosomal proteins.

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.
