Which of the following describes the product of transcription?
A
contains ribose and U”s
B
contains deoxyribose and T’s
C
contains ribose and T’s
D
contains deoxyribose and U’s
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA transcription produces a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to one strand of DNA. Transcription, however, differs from DNA replication in several crucial ways. Unlike a newly formed DNA strand, the RNA strand does not remain hydrogen-bonded to the DNA template strand.

Detailed explanation-2: -While DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose, characterised by the presence of the 2′-hydroxyl group on the pentose ring (Figure 5).

Detailed explanation-3: -Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the product of gene transcription and is used to carry genetic information to ribosomes for translation.
