A linear fragment of DNA containing the Insulin receptor gene is shown
below, where boxes represent exons and lines represent introns. Assume
transcription initiates at the leftmost EcoRI site. Sizes in kb are indicated
below each segment. Vertical arrows indicate restriction enzyme recognition
sites for Xbal and EcoRI in the Insulin receptor gene. Horizontal arrows
indicate positions of forward and reverse PCR primers. The Horizontal line
indicates sequences in probe A.
