Question
How do i find the mRNA complement fron 5'-3', fo the following DNA sequence?
5'-GATCCGCTAAGGCCT-3'

or just in general, how do i find the mRNA complement of a DNA sequence and also visa versa?

Answer
Use the base pairing rule as follows
DNA-DNA               DNA to RNA
A-T                     A-U
T-A                     T-A
C-G                     G-C
G-C                     C-G
Therefore in your problem

5=GATCCGCTAAGGCCT-3
