Question
Chapter 4.4, Problem 14AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
How heredity and health are affected not only by genetic changes but also by epigenetic changes.
Introduction:
Heredity is passed from one generation to the next through both genetic and non-genetic (epigenetic) inheritance. There are several mechanisms that alter the expression of a gene apart from a mutation. Alternation of a gene expression without changing the DNA bases is known as epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and miRNA expression. DNA methylation (addition of a methyl group to cytosine bases of DNA sequence) inhibits gene expression, which is a normal biological process involved in human development. All the genes are not active in every cell; only few genes are active and others are inhibited by DNA methylation and other mechanisms based on the cell types (example, embryonic cells).

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.
Design a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.
The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows:
aabb: yellow
AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red
AAbb and Aabb: orange
aaBB: yellow
aaBb: ?
Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?
Question 21 options:
orange because A is epistatic to B
yellow because A is epistatic to B
red because B is epistatic to A
orange because B is epistatic to A
red because A is epistatic to B
