When Genes are Copied (In Transcription), What Form Does the Resulting

Question

When genes are copied (in transcription), what form does the resulting copy take?
A) complementary strand of DNA
B) strand of mRNA
C) molecule of tRNA
D) palindrome

Accepted Answer

The resulting copy of genes in transcription takes the form of a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA molecule carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes where it is translated into protein. The other options are not correct because tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosomes and is not involved in transcription, a complementary strand of DNA is synthesized in DNA replication, and a palindrome is a sequence of nucleotides that reads the same in both directions.
