Summary Introduction

To list: Two unavoidable and avoidable factors that make a person susceptible to cancer and how to avoid those risks.

Concept introduction: Cancer is a condition of a body where the cell starts to proliferate in an uncontrolled way. Older cells in the body would not die; instead, they undergo uncontrolled growth and kill the normal cells present in the body. There are many causes of cancer. Few are avoidable and few are unavoidable.

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.
