Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The primary cause of reduced or increased pH in the body could be respiratory and metabolic (acidosis and alkalosis). The body tries to compensate the loss or gain of protons and bicarbonate ions. If there is increased proton in the body, it will be compensated by elevating the level of bicarbonate ions. If the level of bicarbonate is less it will be compensated by decreasing the level of protons in the body. The renal and respiratory system compensates for the increased or decreased pH by absorbing the excess of protons or bicarbonate ions or by providing the protons and bicarbonate ions in case of decreased or increased pH so that pH could return to an optimum level.

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.
