Chapter 4, Problem 30P
Summary Introduction

To explain:

The cause of mutation.

Introduction:

Mutation refers to any alteration or change in the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence of an organism. Mutations are mainly caused due to errors that occur in the DNA replication. Insertion and deletion of DNA segments may also result in mutations. Mutations are generally harmful, though some can be beneficial too.

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.
