What will be the sequence of $\text{mRNA}$ produced by the following stretch of $\text{DNA}$?3' $\text{ATGCATGCATGCATG}$ 5' $\text{TEMPLATE STRAND}$ 5' $\text{TACGTACGTACGTAC}$ 3' $\text{CODING STRAND}$

Transcription occurs such that the $\text{mRNA}$ sequence is complementary to the template strand and identical to the coding strand (except $\text{T}$ is replaced by $\text{U}$).The coding strand is 5' $\text{TACGTACGTACGTAC}$ 3'.Therefore, the $\text{mRNA}$ is 5' $\text{UACGUACGUACGUAC}$ 3'.(Note: Always check the polarity! If coding is 5' to 3', mRNA is 5' to 3').
