a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The genotype of back cross progeny from a homozygous brown fish with a homozygous white fish, and backcrossed the F1 with the homozygous white parent.

Introduction:

Medaka is a small fish, which is found in Japan. The fish are of four colors; red, blue, brown, and white. The color of the fish is determined by the genes at two loci; B, b, and R, r. Brown color is determined by two dominant loci (B_R_), blue color of the fish is determined by one dominant allele (B_rr), red color of the fish is determined by only one dominant allele at the R locus (bbR_), and white color is determined by a recessive allele at both locus (bb rr).

b.

Summary Introduction

To compare:

The observed numbers of back cross progeny with the number expected progeny, by using a chi-square test, also to conclude the result of chi-square test.

Introduction:

Medaka is a small fish, which is found in Japan. The fish are of four colors; red, blue, brown and white. The color of fish is determined by the genes at two loci; B, b and R, r.

Brown color is determined by two dominant loci (B_R_), blue color of the fish is determined by one dominant allele (B_rr), red color of the fish is determined by only one dominant allele at R locus (bbR), and white color is determined by recessive allele at both locus (bb rr).

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The result which is expected in a cross between homozygous red and homozygous white fish.

Introduction:

Medaka is a small fish which is found in Japan. The fish are of for colors; red, blue, brown and white. The color of fish is determined by the genes at two loci; B, b and R, r.

Brown color is determined by two dominant loci (B_R_), blue color of the fish is determined by one dominant allele (B_rr), red color of the fish is determined by only one dominant allele at R locus (bbR_) , and white color is determined by recessive allele at both locus (bb rr).

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The expected result from a cross between homozygous redfish and homozygous blue fish and the F1 progeny are again backcrossed with a homozygous red parental fish.

Introduction:

Medaka is a small fish which is found in Japan. The fish are of for colors; red, blue, brown and white. The color of fish is determined by the genes at two loci; B, b and R, r.

Brown color is determined by two dominant loci (B_R_), blue color of the fish is determined by one dominant allele (B_rr), red color of the fish is determined by only one dominant allele at R locus (bbR_) , and white color is determined by recessive allele at both locus (bb rr).

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.
