Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process of synthesizing an RNA molecule from a DNA template. During transcription, the DNA sequence is read and the RNA molecule is built by complementary base pairing. There are three types of RNA molecules that can be produced during transcription: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). The main function of tRNA is to transport amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis, whereas mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis. Therefore, transcription does not result in the formation of tRNA molecules.
