    THE ANIMALS BEFORE LIKED SLEEP BECAUSE EATING MONSTERS IS GOOD, ME SCHOOL FOR HUNGRY WAS CLASS GOOD.
    i think you may have mixed up the words a little bit or transfered them wrong because the sentence i came up with did not make sense. You also forgot to put the start codon and the end codon. AUG UGA

    1. Also check how the mRNA changes the letters to DNA.
      DNA - mRNA
      A - U
      C - G
      T - A
      G - C
      In Biology: A normal strand T matches to A (Thymine to Adenine); while C matches to G (Cytosine to Guanine) and A should be replaced by U (Adenine to Uracil)

  2. Thank you for taking time to interpret my DNA strand. I think you are confused because I added the random bases before and after my strand so you can locate the start and the end codon.
    Which is also given in the instruction.
    This is my DNA strand to mRNA strand:
    (DNA)ACC/CGG/TAA/ATG/TCT/GGG/AAC/GGC/AGT/GCA/AGC/TTG.
    (mRNA)UGG/GCC/AUU/UAC/AGA/CCC/UUG/CCG/UCA/CGU/UCG/AAC/UAG.
    Means:
    The/good/students/from/class/wants/to/study/and/learn/about/
    anthropology.

  3. Good try, Casey, but Salome is correct that you missed the random bases included in the beginning of the code (which was part of the assignment.

    Here is my decode:
    DNA: ACCTTACACCCGGTAAATGTCTGGGAACGGCAGTGCAAGCTTGATCTCCG
    RNA: UGGA AUGAUGGGCCAUUUACAGACCCUUGCCGUCACGUUGCAACUAG AGGC
    Remove random bases: AUG UGG GCC AUU UAC AGA CCC UUG CCG UCA CGU UGC AAC UAG
    (start) The good students from class want to study and learn after anthropology. (stop)
