Base Pairing Rules For DNA and RNA DNA A (Adenine) always pairs with T (Thymine) T (Thymine) always pairs with A (Adenine) RNA A (Adenine) always pairs with U (Uracil) U (Uracil) always pairs with A (Adenine) – A and T go together! – A and U go together! C (Cytosine) always pairs with G (Guanine) G (Guanine) always pairs with C (Cytosine) C (Cytosine) always pairs with G (Guanine) G (Guanine) always pairs with C (Cytosine) – C and G go together! – C and G go together!

First Set of DNA and RNA Notice that A’s pair with T’s and C’s pair with G’s ATGGTAGCTAACCTT T A C C A T C GA T T GGA A DNA A UG GUA G C UA A C C UU mRNA UA C C A UC GA UUGGA A tRNA U goes with A this time because it is in RNA (not DNA anymore!!!)

Amino Acids Do not worry about how to do the amino acids I will show you how to do that when I return tomorrow
