Summary Introduction

Cold is the most common respiratory disease caused by a wide range of viruses. It is majorly transmitted by direct contact or infectious airborne droplets that spread from sneezes, coughs, and respiratory secretions. Usually, cold last for a short duration, and the signs and symptoms are very mild compared to the other respiratory infections like influenza.

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.
