DNA Strand

Who ever decodes this have fun :)

  1. I decoded it as : We students become monster we pizza. I think that there may be an error. I think the fifth word("we") is suppose to be "before" because in your strand you have the codon CAC which translates to GUG(we) but if you transpose it, it can be ACA which translates to UGU(before) which makes more sense grammatically.

    1. Without the start codons the code goes as follows
      ACA TAA GGA TGG CAC GTC TGA

      sorry for the mess up I have no idea how I typed it in so wrong

  2. Good decode, Allison. That is the same one I came up with.

    Daylyn, good response to Allison's decode comment and thank you for the correction. I thought you had a couple of mutations that took out some key words. I appreciate that you went back to check your work to check the problem Allison identified and worked to correct it. Well done.

    Here is my decode for reference, both of the oriinal DNA and the correct code as well:

    DNA: TAAGTACCACTAAGGATGGCACTGAATCGCAT
    RNA: AUUCAUGGUGAUUCCUACCGUGACUUAGCGUA
    Codons: AUG GUG AUU CCU ACC GUG ACU UAG
    (start) We students become monster(s) we pizza. (stop)

    DNA: ACA TAA GGA TGG CAC GTC TGA
    RNA: UGU AUU CCU ACC GUG CAG ACU
    Before students become monster(s) we eat pizza.
