A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: How many bits a CD would take to specify each nucleotide pair in a DNA sequence.

Concept introduction: Human genome is the complete set of nucleic acid sequences encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosomes. It is composed of both protein-coding functional genes and non-coding nonsense genes. Actually, a human genome consists of 3×109 nucleotide pairs in it. If an attempt made to convert all the information in the genome to compact discs, it takes nearly 2 to finish the attempt.

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.
