Chapter 32, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Cell is the functional and structural unit of a living being. Cells combine to form tissues, and tissues together form organs. And organs combine to form an organ system. There are four types of tissues in animals, “epithelial tissue”, “connective tissue”, “muscle tissue”, and “nervous tissue”.

Answer to Problem 1TY

The correct answer is option (c) nervous.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation for the correct answer:

Option ( c) Nervous tissue. The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system are formed by the combination of the nervous tissue. It is found in the ‘brain and spinal cord’. It comprises neurons and neuroglia that are responsible for maintaining the control of the body and communicating among its parts.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (a) epithelial tissue or epithelium. It is the sheet of cells that protects the peripheral surfaces of the body, line the gastrointestinal tract and its organs and certain glands. The skin is formed by the layer of epithelial tissues. There are six types of epithelial tissues- Simple squamous epithelia, simple cuboidal epithelia, simple columnar epithelia, stratified squamous epithelia, stratified cuboidal epithelia, stratified columnar epithelia.

Option (b) connective tissue. As the name reads, it acts as a binder between cells and organs of the body. The connective tissues protect and support all the parts of the body. These are of six types of this tissue- ‘loose connective tissue’, ‘dense connective tissue’, bone, cartilage, blood, and lymph.

Option (d) muscle tissue. This tissue responds to stimulus and contractions to provide movement. They are located in ‘hollow visceral organs, digestive organs, and blood vessels’. These are of three types- cardiac tissue, smooth tissue, and skeletal tissue.

Conclusion

Nervous tissue conducts electrical signals from one structure in the body to another structure.

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.
