    Sentence Translation: After I (start Codon) I like to study after to hungry monster eat pizza (Stop Codon) monster eat

    I was a little confused with the message I got. I've looked it over again and I noticed you didn't start with the start codon or end with the end codon. Any light you could shed on the matter would be helpful!

  3. Brooke,

    Actually, xxcheshire.kat included random bases at the beginning and the end of her code, before and after the start and stop codon respectively, which is what was required in the assignment. My question is that I don't quite understand the sentence. :-)

    xxcheshire.kat... Were we correct in our decodes? My decode is below:

    ACGCAATACCAACCGAACGGCACGACCCTTTGGGTCTGAATCTGGGTC

    UGCGUU AUG GUU GGC UUG CCG UGC UGG GAA ACC CAG ACU UAG ACCCAG

    (start) I like to study after the hungry monster ate pizza (stop)

  4. I like to study after the hungry monster eats pizza.

    Sorry for the late response, but I was very sick this weekend.
