Transcription Produces

Question

Transcription produces
A) tRNA.
B) a complementary strand of DNA.
C) deoxyribose.
D) mRNA.

Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process of synthesizing a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule from a DNA template. Therefore, the product of transcription is mRNA. Choice A is incorrect because tRNA is synthesized by a separate process called tRNA synthesis. Choice B is incorrect because transcription produces an RNA molecule, not DNA. Choice C is incorrect because deoxyribose is a sugar molecule found in DNA, but it is not produced by transcription.
