Many eukaryotic genes contain a large number of exons. Correct splicing of such genes requires that neighboring exons be ligated to one another; if they are not, exons will be left out. One early proposal suggested that the splicing machinery bound to a splice site at one end of an intron and scanned through the intron to find the splice site at the other end. Such a scanning mechanism would guarantee that an exon was never skipped. This hypothesis was tested with one minigene with a duplicated 5ʹ splice site. Find diagram of the products you expect from minigene if the splicing machinery binds to a 5ʹ splice site and scans toward a 3ʹ splice site.

Many mouse genes are “tissue-specific,” that is, they are present throughout the body but are expressed in only one of the animal’s many tissue types. (Other mouse genes are expressed throughout the body, or in multiple tissues.) Geneticists can study the regulation of a mouse gene by fusing the gene’s promoter region to the LacZ coding sequence and injecting the construct to create a transgenic mouse. Fusion of the mouse amylase promoter to LacZ yielded a Pamylase-LacZ construct.
You are surprised to observe that mice homozygous for the transgene insertion display a serious heart defect. (Heterozygotes have normal hearts.) which one is a  possible explanation?
a) LacZ overexpression (with two copies of the transgene) causes the defect.
b) the insertion disrupted a gene that is haploinsufficient.
c) the insertion disrupted a gene that is haplosufficient.
d) LacZ expression inhibition (with two copies of the transgene) causes the defect.
Which of the following statements is correct  predict about the  heart defect?

An explanation for the evolution of insect wings suggests that wings began as lateral extensions of the body that were used as heat dissipaters for thermoregulation. When they had become sufficiently large, these extensions became useful for gliding through the air, and selection later refined them as flight-producing wings. If this hypothesis is correct, insect wings could best be described as
