What is shown by the first graph? What do the two axes represents? What does any point on the line show? What general trend is seen, if all the data shown in the graph are considered?

Introduction:

Pertussis is caused by the infectious agent Bordetella pertussis. This bacterial disease is highly contagious, but easily prevented by appropriate vaccination. This disease is otherwise called as whooping cough, which has a high-pitched sound in the infected person breathe. There are two types of pertussis vaccine that are whole-cell vaccines and acellular vaccine.

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.
