The genetic code is a nearly universal language that encodes directions for cells. The language uses DNA nucleotides, arranged in codons of three, to store the blueprints for amino acid chains.
So in RNA the important base pairs are: adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U); guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Transcription Transcription is the name given to the process where the information in a gene in a DNA strand is transferred to an RNA molecule.The coding strand and the template strand of DNA The important thing to realise is that the genetic information is carried on only one of the two strands of the DNA.he structure of RNA The function of messenger RNA in the cell You will probably know that the sequence of bases in DNA carries the genetic code. Scattered along the DNA molecule are particularly important sequences of bases known as genes. Each gene is a coded description for making a particular protein.
