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.
A quick way to calculate upper and lower bands is to halve the degree of accuracy specified, then add this to the rounded value for the upper bound and subtract it from the rounded value for the lower bound.
