Solution:

During the transcription, the base sequence (nucleotide sequence) of mRNA will be decided with base sequence in DNA. The nucleotide sequence of DNA strand is being coded as ATACG as given in the question. The complementary base pairing for mRNA during process of transcription will be as follows
Given nucleotides of DNA strand
