Messenger RNA, or mRNA, molecules are produced by the process of transcription from DNA molecules. During this process, complementary base pairing takes place. The bases present in the DNA molecule are:
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine. The complementary bases on mRNA molecules are:

Adenine (A) in DNA binds to Uracil (U) in mRNA
Thymine (T) in DNA binds to Adenine (A) in mRNA
Cytosine (C) in DNA binds to Guanine (G) in mRNA
Guanine in (G) DNA binds to Cytosine (C) in mRNA
