Chapter 27, Problem 14RQ
Summary Introduction

The agents that are produced by the microorganisms are referred to as antibiotics. The antibiotics are used to kill or inhibit the infection of other microbes. The antibiotics are chemically diverse antimicrobial compounds. Although many thousands of antibiotics are known, only a few are found to be clinically effective. The naturally obtained antibiotics are termed as natural antibiotics. The artificially modified natural antibiotics are in order to enhance its efficacy is said to be the semisynthetic antibiotics.

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.
