Anita, you comment came up as "unknown". Fortunately, when I clicked on "unknown", it took me to your blogger page, where I found your username and assigned you credit for this part of the assignment.
Make sure you are correctly logged in to your google account. when you make these comments.
Anita, you seemed to stop early in your decode? There were several more words to translate before you hit the stop codon. What made you stop?
Caleb, you have point mutation that threw of your code. Like Anita, I decoded the sixth word as "school" (ACG), not as "about" (UCG). What you have in your DNA for that word is TGC, which transcribes to ACG, not UCG. So your DNA was incorrect. It should have been AGC to code your intended word of "about".
That solves the mystery. :-) Couldn't figure out what your sentence was trying to say. Also, follow directions carefully. You were not supposed to leave spaces in your DNA. This is attempting to replicate (no pun intended) the actual protein synthesis process, and our DNA is not broken into separate codons. It's just one long change of bases. That's why we need start/stop codons.
Here is my decode for reference:
DNA: GGCCCGCCCATTTACACCTAAGGGAACGCATGCATTCTGTGGTGTATCGTATAGATG RNA: CCGGGCGGGUAAAUGUGGAUUCCCUUGCGUACGUAAGACACCACAUAGCAUAUCUAC Codons: AUG UGG AUU CCC UUG CGU ACG UAA GAC ACC ACA UAG (start) The students want to learn school an unusual monster skull. (stop)
I am sorry, professor. I noticed that too. I deleted the comment then tried to log in with the right account to post re-post it but I see that you already found out it was me. I apologize, again.
Sorry if I'm wrong but I got "The students want to learn school"

Hello Anita! The correct answer is actually "The students want to learn about an unusual monster skull."

Professor,

ReplyDeleteNot a problem. I appreciate knowing that you were trying to correct it.
