Hi Kathleen! You did a great job disguising the beginning of your code! This is what I came up with: Start Codon: In intro class we learn about natural selection and animals...? Sound correct? I hope so! The grammar was good and I enjoyed decoding your code!
You came really close! The sentence is actually: In Anthropology Class we learn about natural selection and animals. I think what happened was likely one of the bases for the start and end codons mixed up the lettering for that one base pair. Very good job nonetheless! :)
Emma, you were off on a couple of words in your decode. You understand the process, you just needed a little more care in the process to avoid "mutations".
WildDreamingFantasies, the coding was good, but you were actually missing a word, meaning you had a "deletion" mutation somewhere along the process. Missing is the second to last word, "and". If it were there, you would see the triplet AGC toward the end of your DNA strand. It isn't there. Otherwise, good code.
Here is my decode for reference:
DNA: TAGATACAAATTGTCTCACGCAAGCCCCAGTTTAATCGCTA RNA: UACUAUGUUUAACAGAGUGCGUUCGGGGACAAAUUAGCGAU Codons: AUG UUU AAC AGA GUG CGU UCG GGG ACA AAU UAG (start) In anthropology class, we learn about natural selection, skulls, animals. (stop)

Actually, "almost" to both of you. :-)
