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
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. This is the 3rd time I've tried to answer your question, so this is part of my answer. No, I do NOT have the solution for you but I can tell you what will not work.
First of all, be absolutely positive you have copied the 2 cryptic messages and the code correctly. There are 27 letters in each of the 2 messages. That could mean that there are 7 blanks, 7 letters, or you must also consider punctuation. The code as it is does not work with the messages. I wrote it out but could not determine how to get the letters that were missing, so possibly you need not even consider those. If you transpose each of the 3 letters in the message you can make the code work as it is, assuming you must not change the code.
I suggest you do a GOOGLE search for "cryptogram" because I found some solvers there but that is what continually threw me offline.
Best of luck and we'll be anxious to learn the solution!
