Suppose the DNA sequence for the first message in Part B began with TGT CGA instead of TGA CGA. Would the message change? Why or why not?

The message would change because each base has a specific pair that it bonds with. So the original strand's matching sequence would be (ACT GCT) if they were to change the last letter of the first set of 3 numbers, it would be (ACA GCT), and you can see there is a difference in the first sequence of bases. Hope this helps (:
