You perform a translation experiment with mRNA and all required molecules in two identical test tubes. You add limiting amounts of the antibiotic puromycin to test tube 2 only. Puromycin is a molecule that has structural similarities to the 3' end of a charged TRNA. It can enter the ribosome and be incorporated into the growing protein. When puromycin is incorporated into the polypeptide, it stalls the ribosome and the polypeptide is released. You do not know if puromycin recognizes a specific codon or not. You examine the length of the polypeptide produced in both test tubes. Which of the following would you find in test tube 2 (has limiting amounts of puromycin) if puromycin does NOT recognize a specific codon. O Only 4 types of polypeptides that are each of different lengths Only 2 types of polypeptides that are each of different lengths Only a single type of polypeptide Polypeptides of all sizes, i.e., dipeptides, tripeptides..a polypeptide 90 amino acids long
