3. You are investigating an abnormal eukaryotic cell line that makes mRNAs much longer than the mRNAs from normal cells (that is, they have more nucleotides than usual). a) Assuming there is just one mutant defect in these cells, what could be the |reason of that defect? b) Intrigued, you examine the proteins in these abnormal cells and note that many of them are either much longer or much shorter than the normal proteins from nonmutant cells. What could be the reason causing these results?
