Summary Introduction

To identify:

The stages of mitosis in a prepared slide of onion root tip which is given in the textbook of question number 16.

Introduction:

Mitosis is an equational division of cell cycle. In mitosis somatic cell divides into two identical daughter cells which receive equal number of chromosome. The mitosis is divided into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

In prophase of mitosis, the chromatin molecules start condensing and form a structure which is called as chromosomes. In metaphase, the chromosome molecule aligned at equatorial plate. In anaphase, the sister chromatid moves towards the opposite pole of cells. In telophase, the cytoplasm and nucleus of cells divide and the decondensation of chromosomes start.

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Telophase is the last stage of mitosis.

(c)

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

After chromosome divides, the cell cytoplasm tends to divide into two new cells.

(d)

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Metaphase is the phase where the cell shows its chromosomes clearly.

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.
