An mRNA molecule is translated into protein from a piece of double stranded DNA,

Question

An mRNA molecule is translated into protein from a piece of double stranded DNA, and a small portion of this DNA sequence is shown below:

5’ GAAAAAAGCGCTTAA 3’       

3’ CTTT TT T CGCGAATT 5’          

Circle the DNA coding strand. Draw a rectangle around the strand that is the template strand for the mRNA. Write the sequence of the mRNA molecule. Indicate the 5’ and 3’ ends of the mRNA molecule. Can you predict the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids that result? Consider that the mRNA is translated without the help of an initiation codon, and write the first and last amino acids in the small peptide

Please help me answer this question, most preferebly handwritten.
