B142. This is because one of the molecules has to be a stop codon which doesn't code for an amino acid. So there are only 426 nucleotides coding for the polypeptide chain. It takes 3 nucleotides to code for an amino acid. So 426 divided by 3 is 142, which is the amount of amino acids that will be part of this chain.
