Mr. Ahmadi was forced to jump to escape the speeding car after that a snapping sound was heard, which was followed by an immediate pain in the lower right calf region. Between his heel and the swollen calf, a gap was observed as well as he was unable to plantar flex the injured foot. The main reason behind the injury of Mr. Ahmadi. Introduction: The deep seated and the superficial muscle groups form the posterior leg compartment. A common tendon, that is, Achilles tendon, is shared by the superficial muscles. The Achilles tendons or calcaneal tendon is the strongest tendon of the body. This tendon helps the muscles of the ankle to bind to its calcaneal bone. The plantar flex of the foot is caused by the deep and the superficial muscle groups. The superficial muscles comprise the soleus, gastrocnemius, and the calf muscles. In the given situation the person has injured his Achilles tendon and the calf muscle, which is swollen after the incident. The inability to perform the plantar flexor of the foot suggests that the gastrocnemius muscle of the calf and the Achilles tendon are injured.

Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?
