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.

Given below are some behaviors strategies.

A) Fixed action pattern, complex sequence of behavior, Once released and continuous to completion, even when there is change in surrounding environment

B)  natural selection select that territorial behavior that is benefit is greater than cost 

C) Imprinting, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience

D) Donor benefits at a cost to the recipient, the behavior is altruistic; when the recipient benefits at a cost to the donor, the behavior is selfish.

 In a bird species A, the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and feeds the nestling. In bird species B, it is the female that does all that. In bird species C, both sexes contribute equally to the above activities. In species A and B, the uninvolved partner may fly away and mate again. Which sex among A, B and C is most likely to develop colorful plumage during breeding season?
