Chapter 57, Problem 3Q
Summary Introduction

To review:

The increase of total organic carbon (TOC) throughout the experiment and the relation of its increase with the activities of the sea cucumber.

Given:

TOC is steadily increasing over the course of the experiment as shown in the graph mentioned below:

EBK LIFE: THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY, Chapter 57, Problem 3Q

Introduction:

TOC is a measure of the total amount of carbon present in an organic compound. It can be used to determine the water quality or in this particular experiment, the amount of sediment (rich in carbon), which is present in the tanks. On analyzing the graph, it can be seen that sea cucumbers have an effect on decreasing the TOC in the experimental tanks.

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.
