  1. I could of decoded this wrong, but i double checked and got

    Think Sleepy Tooth Anthropology us protiens because

    There are no stop or start codons. Perhaps a mistake was made coding?

  5. H. Aftab,

    There are no comments yet on the blog called Anthro Class Rants by Kris Davis. Try that one!

  6. I had to grade your original code. The initial problem was the absense of start and stop codes. I'm not sure what led to the rest of the decoding problem. This is what I decoded from your original code:

    DNA: GTGCTCTCGTTGCGATCCAAT
    RNA: Start? CACGAGAGCAACGCUAGGUUA Stop?
    Triplet: CAC GAG AGC AAC GCU AGG UUA
    Sentence: Think sleepy tooth anthropology us proteins because. ???

    Your new code works and has the start and stop codes but has uracil (U) in it, which you don't find in DNA... only in RNA.

    UAC CAC GAG AGC AAC GCT AGG TTA AUC
    AUG GUG CUC UCG UUG CGA UCC AAU UAG
    (Start) We are about to evolve into animals. (Stop)
