Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of RNA is made in transcription?
A
codon
B
anticodon
C
mRNA
D
tRNA
E
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -The product of transcription is RNA, which can be encountered in the form mRNA, tRNA or rRNA while the product of translation is a polypeptide amino acid chain, which forms a protein. Transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic organisms, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-4: -An mRNA transcript is a single strand of RNA that encapsulate the information contained in a gene. Think of an mRNA transcript as a portable gene: smaller and more mobile than the DNA sequence that it is built from, but containing the same information.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis.
