(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The overall rate of shelling for the ten monkeys if the peanut concentration is increased to 9 peanuts per square meter.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect of change in concentration on overall rate and also compare the effect on first tripling of the concentration.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The overall rate of shelling for the ten monkeys if the peanut concentration is increased to 90 peanuts per square meter.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect of change in concentration to tenfold on the overall rate.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A graph with v on y-axis and [S] on x-axis and also predict Vmax and Km.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The value of Km for shelling reaction.

Introduction: The monkeys shelling peanuts is an example to understand the enzyme –substrate reaction where, monkeys are referred as the enzymes and peanut concentration is referred as the substrate concentration.

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.
