  1. Hi Mercedes,
    I think you might be missing a letter in the code I have one set that only has to letters instead of three.

  2. Can you tell me which set?
    I've checked it again and it was correct.

  3. I broke down your code and got this...
    GUC: Me
    AAU: animals
    GGU: at
    UCU: be
    ACA: skull
    AUC: book
    GCA: bad
    GAC: unusual
    UUC: for
    ACC: monster
    GAA: hungry
    CUA: was
    GGU: at
    AC: ?
    The last one I don't know because there isn't three letters there so I'm not sure what it is.

    1. Hi Victoria,
      I believe you haven't found my start codon(ATC), and have mixed up my first 4 letters for my actual code, the first four letters are random bases as for my code does not begin until you've identified the start codon.

  4. I'm so sorry for being spacey. I realize now my mistake. Thanks for being patient and understanding. You code says...
    *START* I was dreaming about eating pizza and studying anthropology. *STOP*

  5. Mercedes, good code. Well done.

    Victoria, I'm glad you were able to work out your error. Mercedes hasn't had a chance yet to return to respond to your latest comment (not a problem at all, Mercedes... you did well with your responses) but your decode matches mine, so we will assume we have them correct.

    Victoria, if you have questions or need clarification on an assignment, please email me.

    Here is my decode for reference:

    DNA: CAGTTACCAAGATGTTAGCGTCTGAAGTGGCTTGATCCATG
    RNA: GUCAAUGGUUCUACAAUCGCAGACUUCACCGAACUAGGUAC
    Codons: AUG GUU CUA CAA UCG CAG ACU UCA CCG AAC UAG
    (start) I was dream(ing) about eat(ing) pizza and study(ing) anthropology. (stop)

    1. Professor, Rodriguez,
      Yes that is correct, thank you for helping with the confusion.
