Answer:

The sequence of the complementary strand of mRNA is AUCAUCAUC

Explanation: There are four bases in DNA: Adenine A, Thymine T, Guanine G, and Cytosine C while the bases found in RNA are Adenine A, Uracil U, Guanine G, and Cytosine C. In DNA base pairing, Adenine pairs with Thymine while in RNA base pairing, Adenine pairs with Uracil while Guanine pairs with Cytosine.
