  2. The DNA code for "you" is GUA... when it is translated to RNA, it is CAT.
    So the sentence would read "Before you study anthropology, sit and eat pizza."

  3. kdeegan, good code. I didn't find any errors, and you responded well to Lyssa.

    Lyssa, kdeegan is correct that is seems you had a "mutation" in your decode with the second word. Otherwise, you were on the right track.

    Here is my decode for reference:

    DNA: ATTTACACACATGGCTTGGGTAGTGTCTGAATCGC
    RNA: UAAAUGUGUGUACCGAACCCAUCACAGACUUAGCG
    Codons: AUG UGU GUA CCG AAC CCA UCA CAG ACU UAG
    (start) Before you study anthropology, sit and eat pizza. (stop)
