  1. If the coding strand in a transcription unit is
    5’− ATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGCATGC-3’
    Then, the template strand in 3’ to 5’ direction would be
    3’ − TACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACG-5’
    It is known that the sequence of mRNA is same as the coding strand of DNA.
    However, in RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
    Hence, the sequence of mRNA will be
    5’ − AUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGC-3’
