Part 1 I found Part I of the experiment to be extraordinarily challenging, though not as much so as Part II (more on that in a bit). I found the experiment difficult because it involved me not communicating! It was interesting to see the way that my partner would respond as well. For instance, because I was not communicating a response, they began to get ansy, hesitant, and almost nervous. They didn't appear to like talking without any reciprocity. I would say that they were definitely in control of the conversation, being that I was unable to communicate with them. They initiated everything...topic choice, topic changes, questions, etc. They asked questions and I did not answer, which made them act differently. Conversation is certainly a balance of power, and they had it all. Interestingly, I felt as if I did have some power in the conversation because they were caught so off guard by my lack of communication. If we were part of two separate cultures I would ima...
Okay so after spending a hour trying to decode your post,I have two assumptions of what it might be. If these are your sentences i'm going to have to put "AS IS" because they were really hard to read once decoded. Maybe I'm missing a ing, ed, or tion to one of these words.
ReplyDelete1) Time Because class us an for it anthropology at time about confusing.
2) An sleepy is animals be hungry school you of twist.
Please tell me Its one of these. Great job at hiding it really had to work for what i found. I have a feeling the correct post is going to be a combination of both of these. If i had to pick one of these to go with I would pick the first guess because i got that one three times while trying to decode.
OKAY! So...the one mistake I did make (just realized) is that I did not have a Start Codon [AUG] or End Codon [UAG]...totally forgot to add those in. Though, I did recheck my original work, and the correct sentence is "Students are hungry because class is after sleep time".
DeleteMy DNA, as posted, and without any extra letters at the start and finish is..
TAA GAG CTT AAT TCT GAA ACG GTA TAT
My RNA, after decoding, is....
AUU CUC GAA UUA AGA CUU UGC CAU AUA
Check that again and see if I made any other mistakes...and great job!
P.S. I have since edited the post to include both the Start Codon and the End Codon
DeleteVicious Venom: Good attempt with the decode, particularly since you were trying to do it without the proverbial "net", i.e., start/stop codons. That makes it just about impossible to do. It would have been helpful to PAS if you had explained this error, however. It shouldn't have been quite this "hidden" for you and that was his primary error.
DeletePAS: Good response to VV with lots of detail. I would have preferred that you NOT change your code, but I do appreciate that you noted the change in your comments. That seemed to be your only error here. Thank you as well for the message to Elizabeth (below). I've emailed her to let her know that she still needs to do a decode for credit.
Here is my decode (of the edited code):
DNA: ATATTACTAAGAGCTTAATTCTGAAACGGTATATATCCGCG
RNA: UAUAAUGAUUCUCGAAUUAAGACUUUGCCAUAUAUAGGCGC
Codons: UG AUU CUC GAA UUA AGA CUU UGC CAU AUA UAG
(start) Students are hungry because class is after sleep time. (stop)
Decoding your post was a bit of a challenge. I separated the DNA sequence into groups (3 letters each) to make it easier to decode and understand. Once I translated the first few, I was able to get the first few words. I got stumbled upon your DNA sequence because it seems you're missing a letter.
ReplyDeleteOriginal DNA sequence: ATA TTA AGA GCT TAA TTC TGA AAC GGT ATA TCG CG
*the last part (CG) is missing a letter
Transcribed RNA sequence: AUA UUA AGA GCU UAA UUC UGA AAC GGU AUA UCG CG
Once I figured out the sequence, I matched up the words and I developed this sentence.
"Time because class us an for it anthropology at time about ....."
I wasn't able to figure out the last word but since its category is CG, I narrowed it down to the four words available: learn, twist, evolve or adapt.
Hey Elizabeth, make sure that you post to someone else's DNA post so that you get credit. "Vicious" posted first, so they will get credit! Just looking out!
