The following DNA sequence represents a eukaryotic gene. Indicate which is the template and which is the coding strand, determine where transcription begins (assume it ends at the end of the sequence presented), write out the nucleotide sequence of the initial transcript and the processed mRNA, indicating and removing any introns in the process. Finally, translate the mRNA and write out the amino acid sequence of the encoded polypeptide.

A fragment of mRNA with the sequence 5' ACGCAUGGCAAAAAAAA 3' will have a template DNA sequence that reads

A. 3' UGCGUACCGUUUUUUUU 5'.
B. 3' TTTTTTTTGCCATGCGT 5'.
C. 3' UUUUUUUUGCCATGCGT 5'.
D. 3' TGCGTACCGTTTTTTTT 5'.

3'TGCGTACCGTTTTTTTT 5'

To determine which strand is the template and which is the coding strand, we need to remember that during transcription, the DNA strand acts as a template for the synthesis of RNA. The template strand is the one that is used to generate the RNA molecule, while the coding strand has the same sequence as the RNA molecule (except T's are replaced by U's). In eukaryotes, transcription begins at a specific DNA sequence called the promoter region.

Looking at the given sequences:
5’-GGCGATATAAAGGCGTATGACAGATGATGTTCACCCCCTTGGGAGATGTTCCTCACCAAAGAGAAGCCGGTGAGTATTACACAATACTTATCCGGAGTG...
3’-CCGCTATATTTCCTCATACTGTCTACTACAAGTGGGGGAACCCTCTACAAGGAGTGGTTTCTCTTCGGCCAGTCATAATGTGTTATGAATAGGCCTCAC...

The template strand is the 3’-CCGCTATATTTCCTCATACTGTCTACTACAAGTGGGGGAACCCTCTACAAGGAGTGGTTTCTCTTCGGCCAGTCATAATGTGTTATGAATAGGCCTCAC... because RNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, and the template strand must be oriented in the opposite direction to act as a template.

Therefore, the coding strand is the 5’-GGCGATATAAAGGCGTATGACAGATGATGTTCACCCCCTTGGGAGATGTTCCTCACCAAAGAGAAGCCGGTGAGTATTACACAATACTTATCCGGAGTG...

Next, we can determine where transcription begins. Unfortunately, the given DNA sequence does not specify the promoter region or indicate where transcription starts. This information is required to accurately determine the beginning of the initial transcript. Please provide additional information indicating the promoter sequence or specify where transcription should begin.

Also, to find the nucleotide sequence of the initial transcript and the processed mRNA, we would need to know the location of the introns in the gene. Intron-exon structure cannot be deduced just from the DNA sequence provided.

Finally, without the nucleotide sequence of the processed mRNA, we cannot accurately translate the mRNA and determine the amino acid sequence of the encoded polypeptide.

Please provide the missing information or clarify any specific details needed to accurately answer your question.
