Chapter 28, Problem 3Q
Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The differences in the genetic variations in the yup locus of Mimulus cardinalis (M. cardinalis) and Mimulus lewisii (M. lewisii) plant species affecting the visitation by the hummingbirds and bees.

Given:

The variation at a single locus called the yup caused color differences in the two species, which was found by the researchers. The gene of M. cardinalis allele C is recessive, whereas the allele L of the M. lewisii is dominant.

The genotypes CC were found to be red, and the genotypes LC and LL were found to be light pink. The preference of the bees and hummingbirds were recorded. The graphs below show the visitation rates of the bees and hummingbirds.

Introduction:

Flower shows a variety of morphology having different color, structure, and texture. The morphology of flowers is decided by their genetic trait. Pollination plays an important role in the life cycle of the plant. It helps in fertilization of flowers. Pollination is carried out with the help of different insects, birds, and animals.

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.
