Imagine that the genetic code were read in a non-overlapping fashion, using only two nucleotides to specify an amino acid (i.e., the sequence above would be read: AU-GA-UG and so on)

Which of the following polypeptides would be obtained by translating the sequence above?

Answer the questions below based on this RNA sequences: 5'-AUGAUGAUGAUG-3'

This RNA transcript was generated using a synthetic DNA template. The letters B, D, E, F, G, and H have been selected to represent different amino acids. Assume that each codon is a different amino acid.

A) B-B-B-B-B-B.
B) B-D-B-D-B-D.
C) B-B-B-D-D-D.
D) B-D-E-F-G-H.
E) B-D-E-B-D-E.
