Answer:

TACGACGCCCGA

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the DNA strands run parallel to each other they would have to have opposite sequences.

If one strand has the sequence: ATGCTGCGGGCT then the parallel strand would be: TACGACGCCCGA

To find the sequence of the other strand, we just match the codons with their appropriate matches in the DNA sequence:

ATGCTGCGGGCT becomes: TACGACGCCCGA

As an mRNA sequence, the thymine (T) would be replaced with uracil (U).
