Hi!

Your teacher needs to mark directionality of the DNA strand.

So let's fix the question.

3'-TACGGTCTACGGTAGGTTCCGATT-5' (template strand DNA)

5'-AUGCCAGAUGCCAUCCAAGGCUAA-3' (mRNA)

Your next step is to look for the start codon 5'-AUG-3', then starting there, break your mRNA into codons, thus:

5'-AUG CCA GAU GCC AUC CAA GGC UAA-3' (mRNA)
