Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

Biome consists of natural habitat regions with a rich diversity of plants and animals. The examples include forest and freshwater lake.

Therefore, option d is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Biome consists of a natural vegetation cover with various varieties of plants and animals. Hence, option d is correct.

Reasons for incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “A rotting log”.  

A rotting log is degraded by slime molds for assimilation and absorption inside the body. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “A freshwater lake”.  

It is an example of Freshwater biome but there are other biomes also. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “A forest”.

It is an example of terrestrial biome but there are other biomes also. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The examples of biomes include desert biome, aquatic, forest, grassland and tundra biomes. It includes a covering of the habitat with a rich diversity of plants. There are various species of animals prevalent in the biomes. The main examples include freshwater biome and a forest.

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.
