In cell cycle, a mother cell divides into two daughter cells. The cell cycle mechanism is divided into four stages G 1 , S, G 2 , and M. G 1 , first gap phase within interphase, is also known as growth phase. During the G 1 phase, cell synthesizes proteins and produces more number of mitochondria and ribosomes and increases their size of growth. In the G 1 phase, cell synthesizes and accumulates materials needed for DNA replication in the upcoming phase. In S phase, DNA replicates into two identical copies. In the G 2 phase, cell synthesizes proteins that control cell division and produces more organelles. It detects and repairs the replicated DNA sequence. After nuclear division, cell division has been occurred. Two types of mechanisms are involved in cell division. They are mitosis and meiosis. Meiosis cell division occurs in egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is involved in all somatic cells. Mitosis divides into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase in the eukaryotic cells. A division of the cytoplasm is known as cytokinesis, which occurs at the end of the mitosis. DNA is a genetic material consisting of a long stretch of nucleotide sequences with 2 m length. Chromosomes carry genetic information from one generation to the next. A complete set of genetic materials (both coding and non-coding regions of DNA) of an organism is called as a genome. The total human genome consists about 3.1 billion base pairs and nearly 20,000 protein coding genes.

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

In cell cycle, a mother cell divides into two daughter cells. The cell cycle mechanism is divided into four stages G₁, S, G₂, and M. G₁, first gap phase within interphase, is also known as growth phase. During the G₁ phase, cell synthesizes proteins and produces more number of mitochondria and ribosomes and increases their size of growth. In the G₁ phase, cell synthesizes and accumulates materials needed for DNA replication in the upcoming phase. In S phase, DNA replicates into two identical copies. In the G₂ phase, cell synthesizes proteins that control cell division and produces more organelles. It detects and repairs the replicated DNA sequence. After nuclear division, cell division has been occurred. Two types of mechanisms are involved in cell division. They are mitosis and meiosis. Meiosis cell division occurs in egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is involved in all somatic cells. Mitosis divides into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase in the eukaryotic cells. A division of the cytoplasm is known as cytokinesis, which occurs at the end of the mitosis.

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.
