Summary Introduction

To determine: The reliable indicator of phylogenetic relationships among acoelomate, pseudocoelomates, and coelomates.

Introduction: Phylogenetic relationships refer to the evolutionary relationships which exist among different organisms. It specifies a time at which two different groups of organisms shared a common ancestor.

Explanation of Solution

Acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, and coelomate do not serve as reliable indicators of phylogenetic relationships even though these characters are ancestral because these characters re-evolved and appeared later again. Coelom evolved only one and is a common character in both protostomes and deuterostomes. However, certain protostomes and deuterostomes have evolved to form pseudocoelomic and acoelomic conditions. Further, the pseudocoelomic condition has exhibited convergent evolution in several animal clades and acoelomic condition re-evolved and appeared in Bilataria.

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.
