Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why stomata need to be closed, but lenticels do not.

Concept introduction:

The woody plants possess an outer hard layer called periderm in the trunks of plants. The periderm is derived from the cork cambium, a component of lateral meristem. This layer protects trees from microbial attack and insect invasions. Lenticels are loose aggregate of cells in the periderm. They help in gaseous exchange between the atmosphere and the living tissue inside the bark.

The stomata are openings in the epidermis of the leaf that allow exchange of gases. These are also the sites where the maximum evaporation takes place. The stomata are surrounded by guard cells that control their opening and closing.

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.
