[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

DNA and mRNA are related as DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. This process is called transcription. DNA contains the genetic information in the form of genes, and a specific gene is transcribed into mRNA, which carries the instructions for protein synthesis. Therefore, the sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA. In case of a mutation in DNA, the corresponding mRNA molecule produced will carry the mutated information. However, if there is a mutation in mRNA, it does not affect the DNA sequence.
