Answer:

a) ATG TTA AGC GGC CAT AAT

b) AUG UUA AGC GGC CAU AAU

Step-by-step explanation:

The DNA strand would be:

ATG TTA AGC GGC CAT AAT

This is because A is complementary to T, and C is complementary to G.

The RNA strand would be:

AUG UUA AGC GGC CAU AAU

This is because A is complementary to U, and C is complementary to G.

(Remember that A (adenine) is complementary to T (thymine) in a DNA, and A (adenine) is complementary to U (uracil) in a RNA.)
