Solution

The template starnd would be complementary to the coding strand. Hence, template strand would be: [1]
3'- TACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACG - 5'

The sequence of the mRNA would be complementary to the template strand except T (thymine) would be replaced by U (uracil). Hence, the mRNA strand would be: [1]
5'- AUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGCAUGC - 3'
