Question
Chapter 25, Problem 1DYKB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The concentration and percentage of body fluids and water varies according to the age. The percentage of body fluids decreases with the increase in the age of the person.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
The percentage of water is highest in an individual (lean) male athlete with age of
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
Option d. is given as “a lean
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “a frail
Option b. is given as “a chunky
Option c. is given as “a healthy
Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.
Conclusion
Volume and concentration of fluid and water decreases with increasing age, as with the increasing age the amount of skeletal tissue and adipose tissue deposited in the body degrades.

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.

- Which ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The subunits are joined by disulphide bonds. Each subunit covalently binds a haem group. Conformational change in one subunit can be transmitted to another. There are many variant ("mutant") forms of haemoglobin that are not harmful.arrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.
