Answer:

AUUACGCAU - TAATGCGTA

CCGAAAUGU - GGCTTTACA

GAUCAUUAC - CTAGTAATG

UUUUUAACG - AAAAATTGC

Step-by-step explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized by using information present in template DNA. RNA polymerase adds nucleotides in the growing mRNA chain complementary to nucleotide bases, present in template DNA.

During mRNA synthesis, cytosine pairs with guanine and adenine pairs with uracil (as in mRNA thymine is absent).

Thus, the given matches are correct.

GAUCAUUAC

CTAGTAATG
