Q34. mRNA decay (breakdown) can play an important role in controlling protein abundance. Which of the following scenarios correctly describes a relationship between mRNA decay and protein abundance?   A. A decrease in transcription with an increase in the rate of mRNA decay can result in increased protein abundance. B. An increase in transcription with an increase in the rate of mRNA decay can result in no change in protein abundance. C. An increase rate of protein synthesis but failure to form an apoprotein can be explained by a decrease in mRNA decay. D. None of the above
