  1. My translation is:
    I want to eat pizza and learn about animals.

  2. I couldn't find a stop codon, so it ran on a bit more than that. Where is the RNA stop code UAG (which would be ATC in the DNA)? The fifth letter from the right should be a C.

    DNA: CCAATACCAAGGGAACGTCTGAAGTGCAAGCTTAATTTAAC
    RNA: GGUUAUGGUUCCCUUGCAGACUUCACGUUCGAAUUAAAUUG Stop?
    Triplet: GUU CCC UUG CAG ACU UCA CGU UCG AAU UAA AUU G
    Sentence: I want to eat pizza and learn about animals an students (G). ??

    That's why point mutations in the stop codons cause so many problems. Good job, otherwise.
