Summary Introduction

To determine:

The way human cloning and stem cell therapy relate to human reproduction and development.

Introduction:

Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical copies of a cell or an organism. Cloning occurs during the replication of a cell asexually without undergoing any genetic alteration or recombination. Cloning is generally defined as the multiplication of any kind of biological material such as a piece of DNA.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason that human cloning and stem cell therapies are controversial.

Introduction:

Stem cells have the potential to form every tissue in the human body. These cells have the potential of self-renewal and produce the offsprings that are genetically identical to the originating cell.

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.
