Having studied biology, and listened to instructions, you recognize there is a method that could be used to decode and solve these cryptic messages.

1) TTACTCTCAAACGCCTTATGATCAAAC

2) ATAGTTGGATTTGTTAACGGACCAAAC


THE CODE TABLE
---------------

AAT = A ATT = F CCC = K CTT = O
AAA = C CAT = G GTA = L GAT = P
ACT = D CAA = H CGG = M GAG = R
AGT = E CCT = I TTT = N GGT = S
TAG = T GTT = U TAT = W

TTG = space TAC = comma GGG = period

This is really confusing for me and I do not get it. And my teacher never explained it, so if you could help me, I would really appreciate it!!
Thank you very much

1) TTA CTC TCA AAC GCC TTA TGA TCA AAC
Are made

2) ATA GTT GGA TTT GTT AAC GGA CCA AAC
Which is

I'm not positive. But I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Remember, A and T always match up, and C and G always match up in DNA. So imagine that you're combining the other half of the DNA strand, then break it up into sets of 3 letters. I think. I hope I've helped.
