a: missing stop codon ~
b: stuck assembly line
What:
"When mRNA is accidentally missing a stop codon, however, the ribosome is like an auto manufacturing plant that can't get a car off the end of the line-the line stalls and production stops. "In addition, these defective mRNA are problematic because they are translated into aberrant proteins"
