Summary Introduction

Introduction:

An imaginary line where somethingcouldbe folded in half and one half would match the other half is called symmetry. There are three types of symmetry in biology. These are bilateral symmetry, radial symmetry and asymmetrical. In bilateral symmetry, the body of the object is divided into halves that form mirror images. If more than one line is drawn to divide an animal or a plant in half, and each of these lines run through a central point on the animal or plant, then the animal has radial symmetry. If an animal or plant has no symmetry at all, it is called asymmetrical. Apical is related to shoots, stems and the upward part of the plant. Basal is the bottom part of the plants related to the roots of others.

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.
