Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which biochemical pathways work to lead a cure for obesity.

Introduction: Over nutrition causes excess accumulation of body fat and leads to serious form of malnutrition called obesity. Obesity increases the risk of many health problems and diseases, such as heart-related diseases, diabetes, cancer, and so on. Overweight and obesity are the major problems faced by people of all age groups. The major cause for obesity is the combination of excessive food intake and lack of physical activity. Reducing food intake, losing weight with healthy diet, and regular exercise are useful for reducing the effect of obesity and related problems.

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.
