Expert Solution
Step 1

Given is a DNA template with a sequence and it consists of two exons and introns in it.Exons are the sequences which forms the mature RNA and introns are removed from the mRNA to form a mature RNA.

1) RNA polymerase reads the DNA polymerase from 3' to 5' direction and it is TAGCG which is in the last part of the given gene sequence.
