  1. I translated your DNA into this mRNA:

    AUG UGG AUU UUU AAC AGA CUC GCC UCG GGA UAG

    This translated into the sentence:

    The Students In Anthropology Class Are Good About Special

    Is this your sentence, or did one of us make a mistake?

  2. It is my mistake.
    Thank you for letting me know!

    The sentence was supposed to be "The Students In Anthropology Class Are Good And Special"
    I guess I was looking at the wrong spot when I was writing out mRNA.
    So the correct version of DNA strand would be
    AGGT TAC ACC TAA AAA TTG TCT GAG CGG AGT CCT ATC GAAC
    Thank you again.

  3. DNA: AGGTTACACCTAAAAATTGTCTGAGCGGAGCCCTATCGAAC
    RNA: UCCAAUGUGGAUUUUUAACAGACUCGCCUCGGGAUAGCUUG
    Triplet: UGG AUU UUU AAC AGA CUC GCC UCG GGA
    Sentence: The students in anthropology class are good about (and? – UCA?) special.

    Except for that one point mutation (G to A), good job!
