Chapter 4, Problem 4PDT

a.

Summary Introduction

To describe: What is surprising about the observed number of two-locus genotypes.

Introduction: In two-locus genotype, four different types of alleles are included to form differentgenotypes. In this problem, there are two alleles A1 and A2, which are located at one locus and B1 and B2 are located on the second locus.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether each locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium or not.

Introduction: If the value of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is equal to one, it means that the locus is atHardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the value exceeds 1, it shows that there is an excess of homozygous genotypes. On the other hand, if the value of the Hardy-Weinberg equation is less than 1, it says that there is an excess of heterozygous genotypes.

c.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the two loci are close to one another, or far apart in the genome.

Introduction: Loci are just sites on the chromosome from which some portion of gene interchange with the segment of another chromosome during crossing over and recombination.

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.
