If a poly(C) is used as an mRNA and translated, a poly-glycine polypeptide is formed. If on the other hand a poly(G) mRNA is used, a poly-proline polypeptide is made.
 
  However, if both poly(C) and poly(G) are used in the same reaction, no polypeptide is made. Explain why.

Since mRNA is single stranded, and guanines pair with cytosines, the poly(C) would pair with the poly(G) to give double stranded RNA that could not be used as a template for translation.
