Explanation of Solution

The cell biology of eukaryotes is described below:

  • The eukaryotes share a wide morphological diversity. They have different shapes and sizes. For example, the
  • The eukaryotic cell can either be single-celled or multicellular.
  • Eukaryotes have a wide range of organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplast, Golgi bodies, and many more.
  • The size of eukaryotes is comparatively larger than the prokaryotes.
  • The eukaryotes have a nucleus covered by the membrane.
  • Eukaryotes have a cell membrane that contains a lipid bilayer.
  • These cells have a cytoskeleton that has actin filaments and microtubules.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
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.
