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.

The following statements are related to pentose phosphate pathway.

a) The first and third steps are oxidations with large, negative standard free-energy changes and are essentially irreversible in the cell

b) NADPH rises and inhibits the first enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. As a result, more glucose 6-phosphate is available for glycolysis

c) All the enzymes of the reversible reaction of the pentose phosphate pathway are located in the cytosol

d) The NADPH is used for biosynthetic reactions such as lipid synthesis and nitrogen assimilation in the cytosol
