  2. No, not quite.
    It is: (start)You are like the ape I learn(ed)about in Anthropology class (end).
    The problem is that TCA transcribes to AGU(ape), not UGU(before). Remember, that T=A and A=U. I think that's where you had the problem.

  3. The coding was correct, decoding might have had a point mutation at the first base in the triplet, otherwise good job.

    Here is my decode:

    CGTTTACCATGAGCCGACCTCACAAGCAAGCAAATTGTCTATCGTTC
    GCAA AUG GUA CUC GGC UGG AGU GUU CGU UCG UUU AAC AGA UAG CAAG
    AUG GUA CUC GGC UGG AGU GUU CGU UCG UUU AAC AGA UAG
    (start) You are like the ape I learn about in anthropology class. (stop)
