Question

The hypothesis was that all three segments of the regulatory region are required for highest expression of the Hoxd13 gene. Is this hypothesis supported by the results?

Answer 1

Yes, it is.

Explanation:

The hypothesis made on the Hoxd13 gene expression justified the results obtained. This is because if one of the three segments is removed, the value of the expression level will be reduced to approximately below 100% of the control. Therefore, it can be inferred that the theoretical analysis justified the results obtained.
