The answer is DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).

DNA is the molecule present in the nucleus of our cells that has all of our genetic instructions. This molecule consists of a double-helix ribbon composed of nucleotides that will dictate most of our traits. I say 'most' because some traits result from an interaction with the environment.

During sexual reproduction, DNA from our parents is inherited to us. That's why we have physical similarities and also in personality to our parents.

<h3>What is transcription?</h3>

Transcription is the first stage of gene expression in which mRNA sequence is produced from a DNA template.

During transcription, the following applies to the DNA molecule being transcribed:

Adenine base (A) is transcribed into Uracil (U)
Guanine base (G) is transcribed into Cytosine (C) and vice versa.
Thymine base (T) is transcribed into Adenine (A)

Therefore, the sequence of the mRNA that would result from transcribing a DNA template strand with the bases TACGCTAAT would be AUGCGAUUA.
