Best Answer

Exon skipping, also known as alternative splicing is a process whereby the exons are cut from a genetic sequence (pre-mRNA or hnRNA) and rearranged multiple ways into different mRNA molecules. This allows for a single gene to code for several proteins and isoproteins. Seen in Eukaryotes only.
