  1. Alexandria, I will provide you with a decode so you have someone to respond to. My actual decode is below for reference.

    You were missing start/stop codons in your code, so your decoder doesn't know where to start. For the purpose of this assignment, your decoder must start at the beginning. In real protein synthesis, nothing would be decoded at all, because the enzyme wouldn't know where to start.

    RNA: UAC ACC AUU GUU GGA UUA CCG UGG AGU GUC CAU AUC

  2. I thought ATG was the start codon that translates to AUG.

    Thank you!

    1. "I thought ATG was the start codon that translates to AUG."

      But then you are only transcribing (not translating) the T. What about the A and the G?

      When you transcribe, you transcribe all the bases. So the RNA codon "AUG" reverse-transcribes to "TAC". All bases transcribed.

      I would have liked to have know what your actual sentence was supposed to be? Did you only reverse transcribe the T's throughout your RNA to DNA?

    2. I thought it was the T that became U so it was something like I dream of an monster eat student like you
