    Hi Maribelle! so when i decoded this synthesis out i got,

    AUUCUCGCCUGUACGUCACCUGCAUGCACG, and so with that i got, "Students are good before school and become bad about school". i'm not sure if that is correct or if i did something wrong or if you worded it different, some clarification would help, thanks :)

      Hi Alicia,

      You got the decoding right, but the word "about" should be "after." I think when you were decoding it you messed up between "UCG" which is "about," when it is actually "UGC" which is "after." Overall, you did very well though, looking at these codes for too long can get confusing and difficult.

      Alicia, good decode, except for the mutation in the word "after". When I decoded this, I made the same error. ;-)

      Maribelle, good code and good response to Alicia.

      Here is my decode for reference:

      DNA: GCCGTACTAAGAGCGGACATGCAGTGGACGTACGTGCATCATTG
      RNA: CGGCAUGAUUCUCGCCUGUACGUCACCUGCAUGCACGUAGUAAC
      Codons: AUG AUU CUC GCC UGU ACG UCA CCU GCA UGC ACG UAG
      (start) Students are good before school and become bad after school. (stop)
