Summary Introduction

Microorganisms generating methane as a metabolic by-product in a hypoxic environment are known as methanogens. Methanogens are prokaryotic organisms belong to the domain Archaea, a group phylogenetically differs from both bacteria and eukaryotes. The growth yields of most methanogens are very low compared to the aerobic microorganism. This is because, methanogenesis (a process that forms methane by methanogens) occurs only in obligate anaerobic conditions, where oxygen and other electron acceptors are actually not available. As a result, methanogens grow gradually compared to aerobic organisms. Methanogens possess numerous unusual cofactors that are involved in methanogenesis.

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.
