Chapter 6, Problem 3PDT
Summary Introduction

To predict: Whether the mean in the next generation will be equal to the mean in the data shown in reference to Fig. 6.8 in the textbook.

Introduction: The changes in characteristics of species over a period of time are known as evolution. Evolution takes place mainly due to natural selection. The theory of evolution due to natural selection was given by Charles Darwin. Variation in phenotypic characteristics of individuals is observed, and the individuals having characteristics best suited for a particular environment survive.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether selection can be both directional as well as stabilizing simultaneously.

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.
