The table below lists a number of different possible consequences of a mutation in a cow\'s genome. Predict the kind of change you would expect to see in total protein concentration for each of the conditions listed using one of the following answers: \"Higher\" for greater protein concentration in altered versus normal cells, \"lower\" if there would be lower protein concentration in altered versus normal cells, or \"no detectable difference.\" THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU ANSWER.

Solution

An abundant structural protein is missing : the protein concentration would be lower.

A low abundance enzyme is missing: no detectable difference as the concentration of the enzyme is as such low and does not have any effect.

Shortened , non functional enzyme is produced concentration of protein is lower as the enzyme is non functional.

A single aminoacid alteration prevents breakdown of an abundant structural protein : concentration of protein is lower.
