The messenger RNA will carry the sequence AUG CUU UAU CGG AUA GCU

Explanation:

The template strand of DNA contains nucleotides that are copied into their complimentary form and carried on the messenger RNA molecule.

Usually Adenine A binds specifically with Uracil U, while Cytosine C binds Thymine T. Hence, the one half of DNA strand

(template strand) with TAC GAA ATA GCC TAT CGA will be copied into its complimentary form with uracil U replacing thymine.

Thus, the messenger RNA molecule will have the sequence AUG CUU UAU CGG AUA GCU
