Protein Synthesis assignment

UUGCTACCAAGGGAACGGCAGCTGGTGTAAATCGATCCTT

  1. Take off the UUGC in the front and the CTT at the end, and you get:
    AUG(start)GUUCCCUUGCCGUCGACCACAUUUAGC(stop)UAG
    which translates into
    GUU (I) CCC (want (UUG (to) CCG (study) UCG (about) ACC (monster) ACA (skull) UUU (in) AGC (tooth)
    I want to study about monster skull in tooth.
    Perhaps you may have meant to put in class instead of in tooth, because they are right next to eachtother. Anyway, nice work. :)

  2. Yes, you are correct and that was my error. I even wrote it down on my scrap paper correctly but when it went to do the assignment I used the book and assignment sheet and wrote the last code wrong....good job decoding! Thx

  3. DNA: UUGCTACCAAGGGAACGGCAGCTGGTGTAAATCGATCCTT
    RNA: AACG AUG GUUCCCUUGCCGUCGACCACAUUUAGC UAG GAA
    Triplet: GUU CCC UUG CCG UCG ACC ACA UUU AGC
    Sentence: I want to study about monster skull(s) in tooth (class – AGA?).

    Your DNA shouldn't have had the Uracils (U) in there. You only find those in RNA. Except for that and the mutation, good job.
