mRNA is short for "messenger ribonucleic acid", and is the transcription copy of the DNA sequence you provided. When transcripting from DNA to mRNA, the bases are matched up like this:
A-->U (uracil; only found in RNA, which lacks T)
T-->A
C-->G
G-->C
To translate your sequence:
DNA ATT CCG GGA TTT
mRNA UAA GGC CCU AAA
A-->U (uracil; only found in RNA, which lacks T)
T-->A
C-->G
G-->C
To translate your sequence:
DNA ATT CCG GGA TTT
mRNA UAA GGC CCU AAA
