Three major types of RNAs are mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA. For each of the conditions below, predict the consequences in terms of the population of proteins being
synthesized in a particular cell. What qualitative and quantitative changes, if any, are expected in the individual protein involved (if one is involved) and in the population of proteins in this cell?
a() a frameshift mutation in the heterozygous state
b() a deletion of a significant proportion of ribosomal genes (rDNA)
