The bacterial cell asymmetry that leads to different structural and functional features of daughter cells and also mention the significance of asymmetry in environmental adaptation and antibiotic therapy. Introduction: Cell division is one of the major processes that give rise to copies of the original cell into two or many daughter cells. Through this process, the genetic material is separated into daughter cells in the same amount. The daughter cell consists of the same number of similar chromosomes. Asymmetric cell division gives rise to two daughter cells and the cellular fate of these daughter cells may vary from one another. Asymmetric cell division indicates intrinsic asymmetric divisions. During this cell division, the stem cell generates one stem cell and one differentiated cell. The daughter cells in asymmetric division receive unequal number of genes during cell division of the mother cell. Asymmetric cell division gives rise to cellular diversity and regulates the homeostasis of adult tissues. It alters dynamic cell behavior in response to the environmental changes. It leads into the genotypic selection that does not possess heritable allelic changes but consist of a temporary state which is compatible with the altered environment. The alternator and the accelerator are the two classes of cells that are obtained from the asymmetrical division of the mycobacterial cell. Both of these cells reflect tolerance to different types of antibiotics. This is achieved due to the inheritance of distinct genes for the antibiotic resistance from the stem cell. One cell behaves like a stem and the other reflects a separate behavior.

Introduction:

Cell division is one of the major processes that give rise to copies of the original cell into two or many daughter cells. Through this process, the genetic material is separated into daughter cells in the same amount. The daughter cell consists of the same number of similar chromosomes.

Asymmetric cell division gives rise to two daughter cells and the cellular fate of these daughter cells may vary from one another. Asymmetric cell division indicates intrinsic asymmetric divisions. During this cell division, the stem cell generates one stem cell and one differentiated cell. The daughter cells in asymmetric division receive unequal number of genes during cell division of the mother cell.

Asymmetric cell division gives rise to cellular diversity and regulates the homeostasis of adult tissues. It alters dynamic cell behavior in response to the environmental changes. It leads into the genotypic selection that does not possess heritable allelic changes but consist of a temporary state which is compatible with the altered environment.

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.
