If the sequence of coding strand is :
5′ – ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC – 3′
Then template strand is:
3′ – TACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACG – 5′
The mRNA will be formed on the template strand in 5′ -> 3’ direction.
Thus mRNA sequence will be:
5′-AUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGC-3′
Thymine in DNA is substituted by uracil in RNA.
