Sox proteins are transcription factors, so one hypothesis to explain the different morphologies of mouse and chick lung would be that Sox9 is activating expression of a gene in chick lung that results in fusion of the bronchial tips.  Imagine you have identified a gene – let’s call it Fuse1 – that you think is the molecule responsible for tip fusion in chick. Design a show it experiment to test your hypothesis that Fuse1 is the molecule responsible for bronchial tip fusion in developing chick lungs.  Describe a result that is consistent with your hypothesis, and one that is inconsistent with your hypothesis
