Explanation of Solution

Johnny Appleseed had distributed apple seeds in the United States in the year 1800s. He preferred seeds over grafting the plants. By the process of grafting the apple plants would form would be exact clones of the parent plant. But by growing the plants through seeds the apple plant could adapt and grow well to the new conditions provided. Thus the seeds got from apples produce trees that are not the exact clones of parent. The quality of apples got from his plantation was not good as it was not edible and was only used for cider purposes.

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.
