Answer:
Uracil (U) is found in its place and complements adenine (A) instead. Therefore if the original DNA template strand read ACGT, the RNA strand will attach uracil to adenine so the complementary RNA strand will read UGCA.

Answer:
The complementary DNA strand for ACGTT is TGCAA and the complementary mRNA for ACGTT is UGCAA.
Explanation:
- The DNA molecule is a double helical structure with complementary strands that bind together with the help of hydrogen bonds between complementary nitrogen bases.
- The nitrogen bases are purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytidine, thymidine and uracil).
- While DNA contains adenine, guanine, cytidine and thymidine; RNA contains uracil in place of thymidine.
- Adenine pairs with thymidine (or uracil in RNA) with 2 hydrogen bonds and cytidine pairs with guanine using 3 hydrogen bonds.
Hence the complementary strand to ACGTT in a DNA molecule is TGCAA and that in the mRNA is UGCAA.
