* To turn a gene’s DNA sequence of bases into a protein’s sequence of amino acids requires an intermediary molecule called mRNA. Base pairing is used to create mRNA from one of the DNA strands. Every T in the DNA strand pairs with an A in the mRNA strand, and Cs and Gs in the DNA pair with Gs and Cs in the mRNA. However, if there is an A in the DNA sequence, it pairs with a new base called Uracil (U) in the mRNA strand. Thus, if the DNA sequence is TACGCAATATGCATT, the mRNA sequence becomes AUGCGUUAUACGUAA. * The sequence of the bases of an mRNA (A, U, G, C) directly spells out the sequence of
