Answer:

UCG GAC CAT CGA

Step-by-step explanation:

Dna base sequences are complementary to mRNA base sequences.

The four base sequences in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C). In complementary base pairing A pairs with T, and C pairs with G via hydrogen bonding.

In mRNA it does not have the same four bases. Instead of having Thymine, it is replaced with Uracil (U), so A pairs with U, and C pairs with G.

Hence the mRNA sequence for the DNA sequence will be:

UCG GAC CAT CGA
