In diabetes mellitus, the patients are enabling to produce enough insulin that causes increased blood glucose levels. If the blood glucose level rises high enough, then the kidney stops the reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate and excrete an excess of the glucose into the urine. Adequate information: The anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) helps in decreasing the urine volume. The posterior pituitary gland secretes it. Its secretion is stimulated by the osmoreceptor cells present in the plasma. They produce their response during an increased ion concentration of the blood. To determine: The effect produces by the glucose on urine concentration. Also, the way the body adjusts to the excess glucose in the urine is to be determined. Given Information: The excess quantity of glucose is excreted in the urine due to the increased level of blood glucose. The glucose level in the blood increase when the pancreas does not secrete a sufficient amount of insulin.

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.
