Answer: The correct answer is-

Vestigial structure.

Vestigial structures are the parts/ organs present in a species, which were functional in their ancestors but serve no function in them that is they are not used by the present species.

Dogs possess reduced and nonfunctional digit on their paws ( particularly located on the inner side of the front leg)  called as a dewclaw. They serve no function in dogs.

Thus, dewclaw is an example of Vestigial structure

A number of different types of mutations in the HBB gene can cause human β-thalassemia, a disease characterized by various level
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mutations in introns create alternative splicing site which in turn make mRNA with reduced or no translation.

Explanation:

Introns regulate the splicing of heterogenous RNA during post transcriptional modifications as well as affect the stability of mature mRNA. The stable mRNA is more likely to be translated into proteins. So, introns also regulate the translation of mRNA.  

In human beta thalassemia, mutations in intron create alternative splicing sites which in turn affect the formation of beta globin chain of hemoglobin. Lack of beta globin chain reduces the amount of functional hemoglobin and causes anemia.
