Answer:

U A A G C U G A G C

Step-by-step explanation:

The complementary bases in RNA are the same as DNA with G-C (guanine to cytosine).

But, they are different in that RNA has A-U (adenine to uracil) instead of A-T (adenine to thymine).

Using these RNA base pairs of G-C and A-U, create the complementary mRNA sequence:

A T T C G A C T C G

Translate:

U A A G C U G A G C

So, the complementary mRNA sequence will be U A A G C U G A G C
