A triplet without overlaps? a triplet without overlaps? Two different polypeptides would be produced, each one composed of a single type of amino acid. The resulting polypeptide would be composed of two alternating types of amino acids. The resulting polypeptide would be composed of a single type of amino acid. Two different polypeptides would be produced, each one composed of two alternating types of amino acids.

Option B is correct "The resulting polypeptide would be composed of two alternating types of amino acid"

Step-by-step explanation:

In case of a poly-AC mRNA, it will encode two types of codons - ACA and CAC. The ACA codon translates to the amino acid Threonine whereas the CAC codon translates to the amino acid Histamine.

The notion of having a 1:1 ratio between genes and polypeptides is too simplistic and not in agreement with the observations made my scientists over the years.

A nucleotide from one codon does not overlap with the next, which means it is not read as part of the successive codon.

Hope that answers the question. Have a great day!
