Question
The figure depicts what kind of splicing:
A sequence change (asterisk) has abolished the acceptor site at the 3' end of
intron 1. Exon 2 is skipped
A sequence change has abolished the acceptor site at the normal end of intron 2.
Instead of skipping exon 3, the spliceosome has found a nearby alternative
acceptor-like sequence, a' in intron 2, to use.
the three exons are spliced as processed normally
A sequence change has activated a cryptic acceptor site, a' in intron 2. A
downstream sequence d' is used as a new donor site, creating a novel extra
exon.
