Discussion:
1. How have transposable elements contributed to the evolution of the eukaryote genome?
2. Discuss the different types of pseudogenes found in eukaryote genomes.
3. Discuss the phenomenon of gene and genome duplications and how they have contributed to the evolution of the eukaryote genome.
4. What fates can befall the products of gene duplication? (You can use the globin gene cluster as an example.)
5. Discuss the proposition that exon shuffling and alternate splicing provide a means for generating diversity in protein structure
