A) The +1 start of transcription is at position 52 of the following sequence. If the top strand is the coding strand, and the bottom strand is the template strand, write out the transcribed RNA sequence.

The transcription initiation site on a DNA strand is referred to as the +1 position.
Acoording to the given data the +1 site is at the 52nd position of the following sequence as marked below:

Therefore the transcribed RNA sequence from the bottom template strand of the DNA would be synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction from the +1 transcription site as:
