Transcribe a Coding Sequence into mRNA

Suppose you are given a DNA sequence (considered to be a coding sequence). What would be the mRNA sequence of the same?

The Coding Sequence in question is given as 5--ATGCATGCATGCATGC---3

The Double helix DNA strand contains both coding as well as non-coding sequence. The non-coding sequence is also called as template sequence that takes part in transcription. However, the transcribed sequence will look like the coding sequence with only one difference - T will be replaced by U

So, the transcribed sequence will be:

5--AUGCAUGCAUGCAUGC--3
