The end product of the process of transcription is a(n):
A) mRNA molecule.
B) tRNA molecule.
C) protein.
D) new DNA molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process by which DNA is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA molecule. The end product of this process is messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome, where it is translated into a protein. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because tRNA and protein synthesis occur during translation, not transcription, and transcription does not result in the synthesis of a new DNA molecule.
