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. Many antibiotics which are produced by the bacteria are also found to be active against certain bacteria. The antibiotics which are obtained from the bacteria include aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines, daptomycin, and platensimycin.

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.
