A worker in healthcare in Honduras was aware of the outbreak of the yellow fever disease in his hometown. A laborer from a jungle area who was suffering from yellow fever came to this place 2 weeks prior to work. The coworkers working with him reported of getting mosquito bites while working with him and this was a matter of concern for the healthcare workers. Characters in the case: The healthcare workers, a laborer from the jungle who was suffering from yellow fever. Adequate information: The workers working with the laborer suffering from yellow fever complained of getting mosquito bites, which were of major concern for them. To determine: The importance of how long it has been since the workers were bitten by the mosquitos after working with the laborer of the jungle area. Given information : The laborer coming from jungle area was suffering from yellow feverdisease as the jungle area is endemic to yellow fever. The healthcare workers complained of getting mosquito bites after working with the laborer of jungle area.

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.
