A phylogenetic tree represents the evolutionary relationships among the group of organisms, called taxa.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The ways by which color vision is inherited in New World monkeys.

Introduction:

New World monkeys are trichromats and have three forms of rhodopsin receptors. The three receptors are red, green, and blue.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The lifestyle of the earliest mammals.

Introduction:

The pigment that responds to low-light of several wavelengths is defined as rhodopsin. In humans and other mammals, 95% of light-receiving nerve cells contain rhodopsin pigment.

Blurred answer

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.
