Introduction: The major routes of water gain in kangaroo rats and humans are derived from ingestion and metabolism of food and liquid. The various routes of water loss is the evaporation, urine and faces from their body.

Given data:

Kangaroo Rat Human
Water gain (mL)
Ingested in food 0.2 750
Ingested in liquid 0 1,500
Derived from metabolism 1.8 250
Water loss (mL)
Urine 0.45 1,500
Feces 0.09 100
Evaporation 1.46 900

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.
