Summary Introduction

To determine:

The factors that cause the loss of genetic variation in the establishment of a captive population.

Introduction:

The amphibians live on the ground, but they lay their eggs in the aquatic environment. The amphibians reproduce by external fertilization. The eggs are fertilized and hatch into tadpoles. The salamanders and newts have a slender body and a long tail. The salamanders more live in water and less in land, whereas, the newts live in the land more than water.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The ways by which the loss of such variation can be prevented.

Introduction:

The endangered species is an important part of the ecosystems. The increasing human population and exploitation of resources have resulted in the damaging of the ecosystems. The ecosystem conservation is included in the conservation biology. The national parks are the protected areas for the animals and plant species so that they can flourish properly and the endangered species can be saved.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The procedures that should be instituted to ensure the long-term maintenance of as much variation as possible.

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.
