You inherit the DNA that composes your chromosomes from your mother and your father. You have inherited a protein that STOPS the production of an enzyme, a protein, to help you digest milk. Scientists have figured out that this protein contains an amino acid that really does say STOP whenever the enzyme starts to be produced. What nitrogen bases, found in your DNA, could be arranged to produce this STOP amino acid?

• C, G, U

• U, A, T

• A, T, G

• A, T, and C
