If a portion of the template strand of a DNA molecule has the sequence 3’–CTAGGATAC–5′, what is the sequence of the mRNA molecule produced from this template?
Analysis
mRNA has a base sequence that is complementary to the template from which it is prepared.

In transcription, the DNA helix unwinds and RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of mRNA along the DNA template strand. Transcription forms an mRNA molecule with base pairs complementary to the DNA template strand.
