Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The breakdown of the synthesized protein is not a control mechanism for regulating the amount of protein synthesized. Rather, it is a way to regulate the amount of protein present in the cell after synthesis. The other choices - transcription regulation, inhibition of translation with miRNAs, transcript processing, and stabilization of the mRNA - are all control mechanisms that regulate the amount of protein synthesized in eukaryotic cells.
