Mutations in splice sites can lead to the formation of abnormal proteins. The diagram illustrates a mutation in the 3' splice site between exons 1 and 2 which prevents binding of
snRNPs to that site.
Which of the following consequences could be a result of this mutation?
1. The mutant mRNA contains intronic sequences.
2. The mutant MRNA is shorter compared to wild-type (original) MRNA.
3. The mutant MRNA produces a longer protein compared to wild-type (original) MRNA.
4. The mutant MRNA has exon 2 deleted.
O A. 1, 2 and 3
O B. 1 and 3
O C. 2 and 4
D. 4 only
O E. All of 1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct
