There are 4 basic parts to the DNA recipie, Guanine, Cytosine, Adenine and Thymine. They only watch up in 2 ways, G with C and A with T. But they can go in either direction...GC or CG and AT or TA.
If your DNA contains a sequence GATACA, then the RNA will be a mirror refelection of their opposing pairs. so CTATGT.

The nucleotides for DNA are adenine (A), Guanine (G), Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C). When converted to RNA A is paired with with T, but T isn't paired with A. It's paired with a new nucleotide called Uracil (U). But G is paired with C and vice versa. Example: ACGTACT changes to this RNA base line: TGCUTGU. Hope this helps. Good luck.

All life on earth appears to share the same origins; except for a few very simple forms, the business of replication is currently coded on the famous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule, a genotype of great length, but surprisingly simple structure. The work of transforming the information stored in DNA into the machinery of life is currently carried out by various forms of ribonucleic acid, RNA.
