A.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The equilibrium constant for the reaction A+BAB.

Introduction: Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of amount of products over the amount of reactants in equilibrium. It is denoted as “K”.

B.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The equilibrium constant if A, B and AB were each present in equilibrium.

Introduction: Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of amount of products over the amount of reactants in equilibrium. It is denoted as “K”.

C.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The extra hydrogen bonds required to hold A and B together at lower concentration so that a similar proportion of molecules are found in the AB complex.

Introduction: In a chemical reaction, reactants are converted into products. Concentration of reactants affects the rate of the reaction. The higher the concentration of reactants, the more rapid will be the collision between them. This will result in more product formation. The formation of products from reactants is called a forward reaction. When the products’ concentration is increased, they frequently collide and the reaction results in a reverse direction. The formation of reactants from products is called a reverse reaction. The forward reaction and reverse reaction attain a steady point of state called as a chemical equilibrium.

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.
