Answer:

UAC CUG AGG AUC

Step-by-step explanation:

The mRNA sequence from ATG GAC TCC TAG DNA sequence would be UAC CUG AGG AUC.

According to Chargaff's base pairing rule, the purine bases always pair with pyrimidine bases. Specifically, Adenine base must pair with Thymine base while Guanine base must pair with Cytosine base. In RNA, Thymine base is replaced with Uracil base.

Hence:

ATG GAC TCC TAG will pair with

UAC CUG AGG AUC
