Chapter 26, Problem 19WIO
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The ethical considerations that make the research on diseases such as migraines and Alzheimer difficult and the limitations of using animals as models to study the nervous system.

Concept introduction:

Nervous system controls and coordinates the functions of body. It communicates through the network of cells and the nerve impulses sent by the neuron cells. The nervous system in the vertebrates is divided into two main divisions, central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

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.
